Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council has successfully completed the award stage of a procurement process concerning a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Domiciliary Care Services within the Powys region. The contract, valued at GBP 4,879.29, falls under the health and social work services category and operates within the UKL24 region. The procurement process employed a selective or restricted procedure approach, and the DPS is set to run initially for ten years with a potential five-year extension, subject to review.

This award covers various services under different lots: town, rural, and remote rural domiciliary care. All service providers must be registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW), and the system will remain open for new providers who wish to join by completing a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire. This opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating within the health and social care sector.

With a selective purchasing structure, businesses specialising in domiciliary care services for individuals, including those with dementia, can partake in providing essential care. The businesses that have succeeded in this award include several SMEs such as Suncare Home Care Limited, Back to Basics Care & Training Ltd, and Phoenix Homecare and Support Ltd, each contributing to the diverse care needs outlined in the DPS. Newcomers that meet the registration requirements have an ongoing chance to enter this competitive market and expand their service offerings within the regional framework set by Powys County Council.
