Summary of the contracting process
Cardiff Council has initiated a procurement process for the provision of Supported Living Services for Adults with a Learning Disability. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a procurement method described as an open procedure. The targeted industry is health and social work services, classified under CPV code 85000000.
The proposed contracts are planned to commence on 2nd November 2027 and will run for six years, focusing on delivering these essential services across Cardiff, divided into three localities corresponding to separate lots. Notably, each bidder can compete for more than one lot, but no single supplier will be awarded more than one lot. Significant deadlines include a future notice date set for 1st July 2027.
This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs and VCSEs suited to delivering Personal Domiciliary Care and Housing Related Support services. The total estimated contract value is £114,985,296 GBP, presenting a robust opportunity for experienced service providers meeting the specified criteria.
The notice in full
Cardiff Council is committed to supporting people with a Learning Disability, to live independently in the community within their own homes. The initial contractual arrangement was to support 310 people within Cardiff across 98 supported living schemes . The numbers may increase due to new supported living schemes being developed over the life time of the current contract which will be confirmed in the tender document.
Please be aware that no guarantee can be given with regard to the volume of services required. For the purposes of these services, Cardiff has been split into three localities with each locality representing a separate lot. Bidders will be able to bid for more than one lot, but no one supplier will be awarded more than one lot.
It will be for the tenderers to determine if they wish to bid for one or more lots. Cardiff Council therefore, seeks to appoint a maximum of three Supported Living provider organisations to deliver Personal Domiciliary Care (PDC) and Housing Related Support (HRS) services for people with a Learning Disability across the city.
The Council proposes to award two separate contracts to the appointed provider for each locality: one in relation to the Housing Related Support (HRS) services and the other in relation to Personal Domiciliary Care (PDC) services. The proposed Contracts will commence on 2nd November 2027. It is estimated the contract will have a fixed term of six years, but this will be confirmed in the published tender documents.
