AWARD of Refresh of Framework Agreement for Young Person Housing Related Support

The City & County of Swansea has concluded the procurement process for the refresh and award of their Framework Agreement for Young Person Housing Related Support, targeting health and social work services within the UKL18 region. The procurement utilised an open procedure and was initiated for services associated with the provision of housing support for young individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The process involved updating the framework to include new providers as well as allowing existing providers to apply for additional lots, including Emergency Accommodation and Temporary Supported Housing.

This tender, initiated on 15 October 2024, and awarded on 6 June 2025, represents a completed stage of contracting for services in this critical sector. This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, especially those adept in supporting vulnerable youth with varied needs including housing and substance misuse challenges. The refresh exercise paves the way for small to medium enterprises to either debut into the framework or expand their existing contracts within the framework.

With a substantial budget allocated for these services and a focus on accommodating various complexities, organisations offering innovative solutions and operational efficiency in social services can significantly benefit and expand their influence in regional community support initiatives. Participating businesses have the opportunity to join a collaborative ecosystem fostering community benefits aligned with regional goals, thereby providing a platform for sustainable business growth.
