## Summary

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council commissioned a domestic violence floating support service. The requirement sits within community, social and personal services and is intended to support people affected by domestic abuse through a floating, rather than fixed-site, service model. Delivery is associated with Rhondda Cynon Taf, in South Wales. The council is the buying organisation. The service forms part of the light-touch public service regime and relates to an existing domestic abuse service arrangement. The stated purpose of the procurement was to extend or partly replace existing services where changing supplier would create different or incompatible provision, causing disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. This indicates a requirement closely connected to established local service delivery and continuity of support.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. One lot was awarded to RCT Domestic Abuse Services. The contract was signed on 20 March 2026, with a contract period from 1 April 2026 to 1 July 2028. Its value is £550,136.19 excluding VAT, or £660,163.50 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The outcome reflects a continuity-based decision to use the existing supplier, because a change would have resulted in different or incompatible services and disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. The procurement used the light-touch regime and was below the relevant threshold. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded because the contract was awarded directly without competition.

This procurement demonstrates sustained local demand for specialist domestic abuse support delivered through a floating service. Suppliers likely to be credible for a future requirement of this kind would need established expertise in domestic abuse services, the ability to provide practical and responsive support across the Rhondda Cynon Taf area, and the operational capacity to maintain continuity for service users. Experience of working with a council and within a light-touch public service environment would be relevant. The buyer’s reliance on an existing provider also shows that continuity, compatibility with current provision and established operating arrangements can be commercially important, alongside the underlying quality and suitability of the support service. Organisations without domestic abuse expertise or local delivery capacity would be less well placed.

## Notice

The contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.
