The procurement falls under the industry category of health and social work services (CPV 85000000). The DPS is structured to run initially for 10 years with a potential extension of 5 years, subject to bi-annual reviews.

Key dates for tender submissions commenced from August 2024, and the contracts were awarded to Abacare (Care Agency) Ltd, SAANNIE MEDICAL SERVICES LIMITED, and Affinity Homecare for various care services across North and South Powys, including town, rural, and remote rural areas. The total contract value is GBP 4603.36, and the procurement method used is the restricted procedure. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in domiciliary care services.

Registered providers with the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) can benefit from the extended time frame and potential for additional service awards throughout the DPS period. The contract is particularly suited to businesses with expertise in delivering health and social care services, including those capable of serving diverse geographical locations within Powys.
