Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council has completed the award stage of a public procurement process for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) dedicated to Domiciliary Care Services in Powys, Wales. The award, identified by the code 070779-2025, amounts to £8,723.59, spread across several suppliers. This initiative falls under the Health and Social Work Services category (CPV 85000000) and utilises a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure.

The DPS is designed to run initially for 10 years, with an option to extend for an additional 5 years subject to biennial reviews. The service provision is divided into different lots based on geographical categorisations such as town, rural, and remote rural areas. The DPS remains open to allow new providers to apply by completing a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire, ensuring ongoing opportunities for participation.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales, particularly those specialising in domiciliary support services. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), as evidenced by the participation of companies like PHOENIX Homecare and Support Ltd and Affinity Homecare Group, are well-suited to compete. With the DPS running long-term and the flexibility to apply at any time, businesses can benefit from a stable flow of opportunities to expand service delivery in the health and social care sector in the region.

The nature of the procurement, with multiple lots, allows businesses to cater to specific regional needs and adapt their services to urban, rural, or remote environments.
