## Summary

The Cardiff Council has awarded a contract for the provision of YMCA Frontline Accommodation services to Cardiff YMCA Housing Association. The tender involved a limited procurement method with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 21st April 2023, with a total value of £1,574,445.60. The accommodation services aim to provide support to homeless individuals in Cardiff.

This tender presents a business growth opportunity for organisations capable of providing supported accommodation services targeting homeless or potentially homeless individuals in need of support. Businesses in the housing and community amenities industry category, with expertise in emergency accommodation for low-need individuals, would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders from public procurement bodies like Cardiff Council.
