## Summary

Cardiff Council is planning a procurement process for the provision of "Young Persons Provision, Accommodation and Support" services, primarily intended for children's services in Cardiff. With a focus on residential care for young people aged 11 to 17, these services will be provided at four council-owned children's homes within Cardiff. Aligning with the UK government's Welsh devolved regulations, the procurement falls under the health and social work services category. The procurement is currently in the planning stage with a projected contract period from 1st April 2027 to 31st March 2032, with possible extensions. The procurement method is open, suggesting a fair and competitive bidding process. Interested suppliers are expected to submit proposals in Welsh by 1st February 2027.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with expertise in residential care for young individuals, employing trauma-informed and strength-based approaches. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. With a substantial budget of £31.4 million over the potential contract term, this tender provides robust opportunities for qualified providers to expand their operations and contribute to the community by supporting and achieving positive outcomes for young people in Cardiff. Businesses with a strong focus on quality outcomes for children and young people, as well as those capable of delivering services that align with individual care plans, will find this opportunity to be particularly advantageous.
