Mae’r comisiwn hwn yn cael ei roi mewn cyd-destun lle mae dadleuon hynod gynhennus a chamdybiaethau cyson yn peryglu dealltwriaeth y cyhoedd o hawliau dynol, gyda chyflymder a chyrhaeddiad y cyfryngau ar-lein a’r cyfryngau cymdeithasol yn gwaethygu’r sefyllfa honno.

Advert – Older Persons Housing Related Support Services This advert describes the requirements Bridgend County Borough Council (the Council) has for an Older Person’s housing related support service. The contract will consist of the following two elements of service delivery to deliver one seamless service:  Older Person’s Floating Support in the community &  Support to Extra Care Schemes According to the most recent Census (2021) the population of Wales is estimated to be 3,107,500. When reviewed most recently in mid-2024, this had increased to 3,187,000. This is mainly as a result of positive net international migration, according to Welsh Government research. People aged 65 years or older were estimated to account for just over a fifth of the total population in Wales in mid-2024 (21.7%, or 693,000 people). The number has increased by 13.2% in the last 10 years, since mid-2014. The number of people aged 75 years or older has increased by just under a quarter during the same period (up 23.7%), from around 275,000 people in mid-2014 to around 340,000 people in mid-2024. There have also been some stark societal shifts over recent years. For example, the estimated number of people living alone and in need of support has been increasing steadily over the last decade. Today, people aged 65 and over make up 47% of single person households and may need additional support with housing related matters. This tender exercise seeks to appoint a support provider who will deliver a service offering housing related support to the growing population of vulnerable older people aged 55+.

It aims to help people maintain their independence and encourages people to settle back into the community. Support will be solution focussed, aimed at resolving issues and preventing crisis. This contract period will be for 3 years, commencing on 1st January 2027 with the option to extend for up to 24 months. The service will assist with the vision of the Housing Support Grant that promotes “A Wales where nobody is homeless and everyone has a safe home where they can flourish and live a fulfilled, active and independent life”.
