    Brief

    Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is conducting a market testing exercise to gather intelligence about the children's residential care market and inform future commissioning decisions. The Council invites residential care providers operating in or near Neath Port Talbot to participate in individual virtual discussion sessions during November 2026. The exercise seeks to understand market capacity, demand pressures, workforce challenges, provider readiness for Welsh Government's profit removal programme, and potential future commissioning approaches. This is not a procurement exercise or commitment to future tendering, but rather an information-gathering initiative to support the Council's Children's Residential Care Market Position Statement and future service planning. Interested organisations should email cyps.commissioning@npt.gov.uk with their details and preferred meeting time slot. Sessions will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams for up to one hour each, with multiple time slots available from 18 November to 30 November 2026. All residential care providers, including current and potential suppliers, are welcome to participate.
