Supported Accommodation Service - Abergavenny

Monmouthshire County Council has concluded the procurement process for a Supported Accommodation Service located in Abergavenny, under the industry category of social work and related services. The initial planning began in 2025, with a market engagement event held in August. The tender process followed an open procedure method, and the award was finalised on 21 November 2025, with Pobl Care and Support being selected as the supplier.

The contract is valued at £1,035,000 and adheres to the Welsh devolved regulations, with an official commencement on 19 February 2026, and it runs until 19 February 2031, with the potential to extend by up to four additional years. The location of service delivery is within the UKL21 region in the United Kingdom. This procurement opportunity provides significant business growth prospects, especially for those in the social work service sector.

Ideal candidates to engage with this contract included businesses that specialise in supporting individuals with mental health needs and learning disabilities. The open procedure allowed ample competition, with the final stage seeing a single bid from Pobl Care and Support, a large enterprise with a commitment to voluntary, community, and social enterprises. Businesses with a similar capacity to deliver quality services and who are familiar with engaging in a competitive bidding environment could greatly benefit from similar future opportunities provided by regional county councils such as Monmouthshire.
