## Summary

The City & County of Swansea intends to procure agency social workers and adult team services support staff. The staff will cover various departments within Adult Team Services, providing temporary or agency workforce support for the council’s adult services functions. This is a social work and related services requirement, classified under CPV 85300000. Delivery will take place in Swansea and elsewhere within the council’s area in the United Kingdom. The procurement is a public services requirement under the light-touch regime. It is relevant to organisations that supply qualified social workers, adult social care staffing or related support staff through an agency model, including specialist workforce providers and organisations able to provide personnel for different adult services departments.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Swansea Council has announced an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The council expects to use an open procedure and a framework agreement. There is one planned lot, with the process marked as planned. The estimated value is £3,000,000 excluding VAT, or £3,600,000 including VAT. The anticipated contract period is from 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2029, with a possible extension to 31 May 2031; renewal is indicated. The council expects the next notice to be published by 15 January 2027. The requirement is above the applicable threshold. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This planned procurement should suit established agency staffing providers and social care workforce organisations able to supply social workers and adult team support staff across several council departments. Suppliers should prepare to demonstrate that they can recruit, vet, place and manage personnel for adult services work, while maintaining a dependable flow of suitable staff as requirements vary. Organisations with experience supplying local authorities or adult social care teams are likely to be well placed when the procurement reaches the market. The council has explicitly identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist agencies and mission-led providers should consider preparing. Potential participants should monitor the council’s developing requirements and be ready to respond when the formal procurement is launched.
