Provision of 24 hour housing related support - Women's Refuge

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council is currently in the planning stage for a tender titled "Provision of 24 hour housing related support - Women's Refuge," which falls under the services industry category. The tender focuses on the provision of continuous housing-related support within a women's refuge as well as a floating support service for adults experiencing domestic abuse in Blaenau Gwent. This procurement process is regulated under Welsh devolved regulations and is designated as a 'light touch' procurement, exceeding the financial threshold for such contracts.

The anticipated start and end dates for the contract period run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with a possibility of renewal extending up to 31st March 2031. The council plans to issue a future notice regarding further details by 1st October 2025. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses experienced in providing social work and related services, particularly those equipped to handle sensitive issues like Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV).

Firms specialising in social support services, housing assistance, or domestic abuse intervention programmes are encouraged to express interest. With a substantial contract value, this opportunity is well-suited for organisations capable of delivering both immediate refuge services and longer-term community support, marking it as an advantageous venture for businesses seeking to expand their operations in the public sector services domain within the UK, particularly under the administration of sub-central government public authorities.
