Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council has completed an award under a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys. This DPS, classified under the industry category "Health and social work services," was established for an initial term of 10 years with the potential for extension. The award was facilitated through a restricted procedure, with suppliers required to be registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales.

The procurement processes covered diverse regions within Powys including North and South Powys with specific lots dedicated to urban and rural areas. The total contract value amounts to £3,378.24, with multiple offers selected among suppliers such as Affinity Homecare Group and Abacare Ltd. The procurement stage is complete, with the award having been made in mid-2025. This opportunity presents substantial growth prospects for SMEs engaged in health and social work services, specifically those operating within domiciliary care.

With the DPS remaining open for new providers, businesses can still qualify to partake in future opportunities, allowing for strategic regional expansion within Wales. Ideal participants are those familiar with the Care Inspectorate Wales regulations and capable of delivering tailored services to different community settings, be it urban, rural, or remote. This setup encourages competitiveness and innovation, promoting a diverse supplier base that meets the evolving needs of Powys' demographic.
