## Summary

Newport City Council is seeking a supplier to manage Ellen Ridge, a Gypsy and Traveller site in Newport. The service is site management for a residential caravan site, classified under caravan-site and housing services. The requirement is for the site itself; the published description does not break the management duties into specific tasks. The council is the buyer, and delivery is at Ellen Ridge in Newport. The opportunity is a single service contract rather than a set of separate lots. It is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist site-management providers as well as organisations with experience in housing or residential site services.

Newport City Council invited tenders through an open competition under the below-threshold procedure. The process reached the tender stage, with suppliers invited to submit offers electronically through the eTenderWales portal. The deadline for clarification enquiries was 10 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the offer submission deadline was 17 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The estimated value is £72,000 excluding VAT (£86,400 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with a possible one-year extension, subject to the council’s requirement and review, to 31 March 2033. There is one lot. Evaluation weights price at 50%, quality at 45% and social value at 5%.

This requirement is aimed at suppliers able to manage a Gypsy and Traveller residential site in Newport over a sustained period. Site-management providers and organisations with relevant housing or caravan-site service experience are the closest fit. The council has marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it is not restricted to large operators. Quality is a substantial part of the evaluation alongside price, with a separate social-value element; suppliers should therefore be prepared to demonstrate both the standard of their service and its social contribution. The published requirement states that TUPE does not apply, so the incoming supplier should not expect a transfer of staff under TUPE on the basis of the current contractor’s notification.
