Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council has successfully awarded a contract through its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Domiciliary Care Services, focusing on social protection within the Powys region (UKL24). The procurement employs a restricted procedure method and falls under the services category, specifically targeting domiciliary care, including care for individuals with dementia across town, rural, and remote rural areas. The DPS is set to operate for an initial duration of 10 years, with a possible 5-year extension subject to bi-annual reviews.

The award stage has been completed, with the notice date being 4th June 2025, highlighting the opportunity from August 2024 onward for suitable providers to engage in ongoing service delivery. This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in homecare and domiciliary services. Given the requirement for registration with Care Inspectorate Wales, businesses equipped in providing quality care and support can position themselves strategically in the Powys regional partnership area.

The open nature of the DSP allows new businesses to apply and qualify continually, creating an environment of competitive service provision and fostering community service improvement. SMEs like ABICARE SERVICES LIMITED, CARE & GRACE LTD, PHOENIX HOMECARE AND SUPPORT LTD, and Q CARE LIMITED, which have an existing presence in the contract, are ideal contenders and set a precedent for other aspiring businesses in the domiciliary care sector.
