Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

The public procurement process conducted by Powys County Council focuses on the award of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Domiciliary Care Services within Powys. This procurement, classified under the health and social work services category (CPV 85000000), aims to provide support predominantly for individuals with dementia, across various locations in North and South Powys, including town, rural, and remote rural areas. Initiated as a tender and now completed, the procurement follows a restricted procedure, allowing selective participation.

The major milestone in this process was the contract award stage, concluded with a series of offers throughout July 2025. The DPS spans a potential maximum of 15 years, subject to review, and remains open for new providers meeting the necessary qualifications as per Care Inspectorate Wales regulations. This award presents multiple growth opportunities for businesses within the healthcare sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as evidenced by the participation and selection of suppliers like NEXT STEP NURSING LIMITED, Llewelyn Support Services Ltd, and others.

The framework's open nature means providers can join post-establishment, allowing ongoing opportunities for those specialized in delivering domiciliary care services. Businesses located within the regional reach of Powys, as well as those with the capacity to manage remote services, might find this an attractive opportunity to establish or expand their market presence in the region.
