The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with Powys County Council serving as the buyer. The council has planned a "meet the buyer" event on 19th June 2025 via Microsoft Teams, focusing on engaging potential service providers.

Services are to be delivered across various regions of Powys, including North, Mid, and South Powys in county towns such as Newtown, Llandrindod Wells, and Brecon. The tender process includes multiple lots, with services ranging from emergency accommodation to floating support, outlined for tendering with a gross value of £2,176,856 GBP. The contract is expected to begin on 13th October 2025.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in social work and health-related services, especially those experienced in providing accommodation and support for young people. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially welcome to participate, making it an inclusive opportunity for diverse service providers. The council has engaged a light-touch regime for this procurement, which may simplify the process for smaller organisations keen to expand their service footprint in the Welsh region.

Interested providers can gain valuable insights and foster networks by attending the meet-the-buyer event, enhancing their competitive edge in the tender process.
