Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

This awarding notice from Powys County Council pertains to the conclusion of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of domiciliary care services in Powys, operating under a restricted procedure. The system has defined lots for different geographic areas including Town, Rural, and Remote Rural areas, focussing on services for individuals including those with dementia. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category, identified by the CPV code 85000000.

This DPS, which commenced in August 2024, is set to extend over an initial 10-year period, with a possible 5-year extension. It is notable for retaining an open status for new suppliers who can meet the criteria outlined by the Care Inspectorate Wales. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in domiciliary care services to grow by participating in long-term contracts with a prominent regional authority.

The open nature of the DPS allows small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and care agencies to apply and secure bids through regular tender opportunities, provided they meet the necessary qualifications. The suppliers awarded under this DPS, such as Phoenix Homecare and Support Ltd, and People Support Ltd, among others, demonstrate a focus on small-scale providers that are capable of delivering quality care services in the specified regions. This presents a critical opportunity for other similar entities looking to expand their footprint within the domiciliary care landscape of Powys.
