## Summary

Vale of Glamorgan Council is seeking a provider for Newlands floating support, a housing-related support service for people affected by substance misuse or criminal justice issues, and young and vulnerable people aged 16–24. The service is designed to provide flexible support and has capacity for 53 units. This is a social care and support service, within the broader health and social work services category. Delivery is in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The requirement brings together support for people with different needs, including younger people, within one service. Suppliers should assess whether they can deliver housing-related support across these client groups and provide a service with the capacity described.

The Council invited tenders through an open procedure. The procurement has reached the tender stage, with offers invited. The enquiry deadline was 14 October 2026 at 12 noon. Tenders were due by 12 noon on 28 October 2026, submitted through the Proactis portal; bids could be submitted in Welsh or English. The planned contract period is 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions, up to 28 February 2032. The estimated contract value is £1,785,000. Evaluation gives 60% to quality, 30% to price and 10% to community well-being benefits. The contract is presented as one lot, and award was scheduled by 14 December 2026.

The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is likely to suit organisations with experience delivering flexible, housing-related support to people facing substance misuse or criminal justice issues, as well as young and vulnerable people aged 16–24. Providers need the capacity to deliver a 53-unit service and to respond to varied support needs across these groups. The evaluation places most weight on quality, with a separate assessment of community well-being benefits as well as price, so bidders should be able to demonstrate both effective service delivery and benefits for the local community. The potential extensions make continuity and the ability to sustain delivery over a longer term relevant considerations.
