Project Description:
To deliver a supported work service that offers meaningful graphic design and print-based experiences for people in Flintshire living with a mental health diagnosis. The service will provide personalised opportunities to gain real-world workplace experience, build confidence and independence, and progress towards further education, qualifications, vocational pathways, or paid employment.
The Council would like to invite Providers with experience of delivery in quality support services to further discuss the service. Partners for this contract will demonstrate a clear vision for the services, with a focus on individual outcomes using person centred plans and progression models. Partners would share the vision to maintain social care values, increase integration and interaction between services and local communities by utilising commercial partnerships, social commitments and volunteer participatory agreements.
This is an exciting opportunity for a provider with expertise and a proven track record in providing similar services, to take ownership and transform a well-established and valued service, with skilled and experienced staff. The commissioned provider will continue to deliver high quality support and development for people, offering value for money and delivering outcomes to meet the needs of the local population. The provider would need to provide a balance of offering real work opportunities and supporting people with Mental Health problems.
The service provides meaningful activities for people with complex support needs, with opportunities for people to access training and development, to build social and vocational skills.
The authority must work in line with the principles of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act to promote social value- based models of care and support and would expect the service to continue operating as a social enterprise. This includes creating opportunities for paid employment for people who use the service, supporting individuals to develop their potential, and promoting independence, choice and control.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.

i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
