Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council has successfully completed the award phase of a significant Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for providing domiciliary care services within the Powys region. This procurement is categorised under the 'Social protection' industry category, targeting services. The procurement process adopted a restricted procedure, which is a selective method, and it reached the contract stage as of 4th November 2025.

The DPS is structured into multiple Lots catering to North and South Powys, encompassing town, rural, and remote rural areas. Initial operation is set for ten years with a potential extension of five years based on biennial reviews. The initial awards under this system have been made to various suppliers, marking an important milestone for service delivery in this locality.

The dynamic nature of this purchasing system presents ongoing opportunities for businesses, particularly those registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW), to engage and compete for contracts over its lifespan. Business entities, especially SMEs within the social care field, stand to benefit from involvement, given the DPS's open nature, which allows new providers to join continuously. This structure supports local economic growth by encouraging small and medium-sized enterprises to participate and expand their service offerings to meet local care needs.

As a result, businesses focusing on domiciliary care, including specialist services for conditions such as dementia, would find substantial growth opportunities through such engagements.
