The City & County of Swansea has completed the award stage of a public procurement process for a Framework Agreement concerning the provision of tenancy-based care and support, specifically supported living for persons with disabilities. This initiative falls under the social services category and targets the UKL18 region. The procurement adhered to an open procedure, ensuring transparency and fair competition.

The total procurement was valued at £2.5 billion, initiated earlier and officially signed on 27th January 2025. The framework agreement facilitates support services aiming to enable adults with disabilities to reside in their own homes, reinforcing independence and community living. Following the open tender process, several providers have been contracted to deliver the services.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in care and support services within the social services sector. Large organisations and consortia, particularly those experienced in providing social work services and supported living arrangements, would find this lucrative due to the scale and duration of the framework agreement. The inclusion of various suppliers such as Cartrefi Cymru Cooperative Limited, DIMENSIONS CYMRU LIMITED, and WALSINGHAM SUPPORT, among others, demonstrates a diverse range of providers benefitting from this public contract.

This framework not only solidifies long-term business opportunities but also enhances service delivery in the disability care sector within the Swansea region, encouraging capability expansion and collaboration amongst service providers.
