Community Preventative Services- Preliminary Market Engagement Event

Carmarthenshire County Council is in the planning stages of a procurement process for the Community Preventative Services model, under the industry category of health and social work services. The procurement is set to progress with a Preliminary Market Engagement Event scheduled for Monday, 24th November 2025, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Canolfan Pentre Awel, Delta Lakes, Llanelli, SA15 2EZ. Interested suppliers must register by Tuesday, 19th November 2025.

The procurement process, which follows Welsh devolved regulations, will be governed by a legal framework established in the UKPGA 2023/54. This initial engagement aims to foster collaboration with the sector before formal procurement activities, with existing contracts running until early 2027 and the option to extend further. The Preliminary Market Engagement Event offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

By participating, businesses can play a role in co-designing and co-producing the future Community Preventative Services, paving the way for innovative solutions that enhance local community wellbeing. The tender is particularly well-suited for organisations with experience in developing services that promote independence and resilience within communities. The procurement, which includes a framework agreement and the potential for service renewal, is positioned as an appealing opportunity for businesses to establish or expand their footprint in the public services sector within Carmarthenshire.
