Tender: West Wales Framework for Working‑Age Adult Care Home Services – Learning Disabilities, Mental Health, Physical Disabilities

About

Carmarthenshire County Council, in partnership with Pembrokeshire County Council and Ceredigion County Council, is seeking suppliers for a regional framework for Working Age Adult Care Home Services across West Wales. The Framework is organised into three Lots covering Learning Disabilities (including Autism), Mental Health and Physical Disabilities, and providers may apply for one or more Lots. The Framework is open to providers with existing care home provision in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion or Pembrokeshire, or to providers who intend to establish a care home service in the region within the next 12 months; suppliers must demonstrate a commitment to supporting citizens across the West Wales region and prioritising regional placements. This procurement is conducted as a Light Touch Contract under Section 9 of the Procurement Act 2023, and the Authority notes proximity between service users and providers is important under Section 23(6). The Authority may undertake one or more refreshes of the Framework during the Framework Term and will publish Tender Notices for any refresh events; suppliers admitted via refresh will be appointed on the same substantive terms. Business Wales will deliver a live tender workshop on 30/07/2026 and providers must register at https://wales.business-events.org.uk/en/events/working-age-adults-care-home-services/.
