Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council has completed the award process for its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys. This procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category and involves services provided in various regions including North and South Powys. The DPS, which runs for an initial period of ten years with an option to extend for a further five years, was initiated through a restricted procedure with selective procurement method.

Multiple suppliers, including Phoenix Homecare and Support Ltd, Affinity Homecare, and Silver Assist Homecare Limited, among others, have been awarded contracts as part of this process. The total value of the contracts awarded amounts to GBP 6,691.30. This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, especially for SMEs in the domiciliary care sector.

It is particularly suited for businesses registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and capable of providing domiciliary support services in urban, rural, and remote rural areas. The continuous openness of the DPS also means new providers can join and compete by completing the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire. This procurement initiative supports regional or local authorities' objectives to enhance social protection services across Powys and provides a stable long-term framework for service providers to operate and expand their business.
