Descriptions

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is inviting suitably experienced Service Providers of Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV) Emergency Accommodation to attend a market engagement event.

It is currently planned to go out to tender VAWDAVSV emergency accommodation around February 2026, with a contract period yet to be determined.

The bidders must be aware that they are required to source suitable accommodation to provide the service, and that TUPE will apply.

The event has been arranged for 19th September 13:30pm in Rooms A/B in Neath Civic Centre, where potential bidders who are interested in delivering the service are invited to meet and discuss with Council Officers the service to be tendered. The format of the event will consist of the following:

• Presentation from the Common Commissioning Unit

• Feedback sessions on what has been discussed

These events have been arranged as an opportunity for the Council to seek feedback from Providers and set the essential criteria you will have to meet to bid for this tender. There will also be an opportunity for potential bidders to ask the Council any questions it may have around the proposed tender.

Following on from the event all providers in attendance will be offered the opportunity to attend one to one sessions with Commissioning Officers. These sessions will allow further discussions on tender plans and the models presented.

One to one session dates will be determined following the Market Engagement Event.
