What is being bought

This is a Market Engagement process. Any dates and values provided in this notice are subject to change. Rhondda Cynon Taff Children’s Services are seeking to commission a not for profit provider (as required by the Health and Social Care (Wales) Act 2025) to operate a 4 bed Children’s Home in a premises provided by the Council within RCT. The home will provide care and support to young people aged between 10 and 18 (with the option to vary if demand dictates), with a focus on teenagers and transition to independence. There is an expectation that the service will be provided in a manner that best safeguards and promotes the welfare of children and young people in our care. The Provider will need to ensure that children and young people are supported using the Trauma Recovery Model and employ a strengths based, child focused approach. The Provider will be required to provide all staffing including the Responsible Individual and Registered Manager. The provider will actively encourage and support each young person to achieve positive outcomes in line with their assessed needs and plan, working closely with the responsible social work teams and other agencies that may be involved. This Market Engagement is not a call for competition. Responses will inform our procurement strategy, which may include a future competitive tender process. Suppliers may be invited to participate in further engagement activities. Please advise if you would be interested in this opportunity by registering onto the following PQQ of etenderwales, expressing your interest and completing the questionnaire by the date provided.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Social work services (85310000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8511,8061 median · 41.9 average (4,994 of 11,806 with a bid count)2.2 average (5,696 of 11,806 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Indicative price outcome

£4,554,197 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £7,000,000.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
