Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council, a regional authority located in Llandrindod Wells, has completed the award stage of its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Domiciliary Care Services. The contract, under the health and social work services category, serves the Powys area and was awarded to multiple suppliers including ABICARE Services Limited, CARE & GRACE LTD, PHOENIX HOMECARE AND SUPPORT LTD, and Q CARE LIMITED. The procurement process, initiated as a selective tender under a restricted procedure, reflects Powys's commitment to provide critical care services throughout the region for an initial period of ten years, with potential extensions subject to biennial reviews.

The DPS remains open, allowing new suppliers to join and compete by meeting the Care Inspectorate Wales registration requirements. This contract presents substantial business growth opportunities for firms specialising in domiciliary care and related health services. SMEs, particularly those skilled in providing care and support for individuals with dementia across various geographical settings, would be well-positioned to engage in this market.

The continued openness of the DPS framework encourages participation and expansion capabilities for businesses looking to establish or strengthen their footprint in the Powys region, thereby enhancing service accessibility and quality for the community. With multiple lots offering coverage in both urban and rural areas, diverse business models can adapt to these service requirements and leverage this contract to expand their operational scope.
