The project commenced on 1st October 2025, with an anticipated end date of 30th September 2028, allowing for a possible extension of up to 24 months.

The contract encourages involvement from diverse sectors, particularly organisations capable of offering innovative solutions to meet the service user needs and enhance housing management practices. As the procurement facilitates potential growth through service expansion and continuity, it represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses looking to establish or enhance their footprint in housing support services within the Bridgend region.
