Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council has completed the award stage of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Domiciliary Care Services, with a focus on the social protection industry category. The procurement, which covers the Powys region in the UK, follows a restricted procedure. It spans an initial 10-year period, extendable by an additional five years, with regular bi-annual reviews.

The DPS allows for ongoing participation, as new providers can continue to apply, ensuring flexibility within the industry. The initial awards under this system date back to August 2024, signifying the beginning of business under this framework. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in domiciliary care services.

With various participating suppliers including Affinity Homecare Group, Abacare (Care Agency) Ltd, and Q CARE LIMITED, among others, it creates a diverse competitive environment. The procurement framework is structured to facilitate the inclusion of new providers, promoting ongoing business growth. It is ideally suited for businesses focused on providing care services, especially those registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales, allowing them to tap into a long-term government partnership in a vital local community sector.
