Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council has completed an award for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) focused on domiciliary care services in Powys. This procurement falls under the “Social protection” industry category and targets regions within Powys, UK. The DPS will operate over an initial period of ten years, extendable by five years based on bi-annual reviews.

The process utilised a selective and restricted procedure, indicative of a structured approach in vetting providers. This recent award, dated November 2025, facilitated contracts for services starting August 2024. Notably, suppliers such as Q Care Limited and Affinity Homecare Group have actively participated, evidencing a robust competitive framework within the project.

The opportunity represents a substantial avenue for businesses in domiciliary and care services to expand their footprint, especially for those equipped to meet regional demands in both urban and rural settings. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) adept at navigating the requirements of the Care Inspectorate Wales stand to benefit significantly. This DPS remains open for new providers to join, implying ongoing prospects for qualified entities to engage and secure contracts within the specified lots.

Ensuring CIW registration and preparedness to deliver a dynamic service spectrum across North and South Powys would greatly enhance suitability for potential contenders.
