## Summary

The City & County of Swansea intends to procure family centre services in designated wards across Swansea. The services will provide a consistent model for family centres, with the aim of enriching individuals, families and communities and improving quality of life now and in the future. This is a social work and related services requirement, covering the delivery and operation of family-centre provision rather than construction or the supply of goods. The council is the buying organisation and the work will be delivered from family centres serving communities within Swansea. The procurement is subject to the light-touch regime for social services and related activities. The requirement is arranged as one service lot.

This process is at the planning stage: the council has published an intention to procure, not an invitation to tender, and the scope and dates may change. The council expects to use an open procedure. The planned contract is expected to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with renewal available to a maximum extent of 31 March 2032. Its estimated value is £2,000,000 excluding tax (£2,400,000 including tax). The requirement is above the relevant threshold. The next notice is expected to be published on 26 October 2026. The procurement has one planned lot, and the council has identified the family-centre service as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This will suit organisations that provide social work, family support or related community services and can deliver coordinated provision from family centres in Swansea. The buyer is looking for a consistent service model across designated wards, so suppliers should be able to organise reliable local delivery and work effectively with individuals, families and communities. The requirement is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to established local providers as well as larger social-care organisations. Suppliers with experience improving family and community wellbeing, managing centre-based services and maintaining consistent provision across multiple wards should prepare to demonstrate how their delivery model would meet these aims when the procurement reaches the market.
