Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council has concluded the procurement process for the provision of Domiciliary Care Services within the Powys region through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The procurement falls under the industry category of Social Protection and has completed its award stage with all relevant contracts signed. The FPS, which allows for the provision of care services, is set to run for an initial ten-year term with the possibility of a five-year extension, subject to bi-annual reviews.

Notably, providers need registration with the Care Inspectorate Wales to qualify for participation. This procurement used a restricted procedure, signifying a selective approach to tendering. This procurement process represents a substantial business opportunity for companies specialising in domiciliary care, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the required registration.

The DPS structure promotes continuous participation, offering a long-term opportunity for providers to engage and expand their operations within North and South Powys across its three identified areas: Town, Rural, and Remote Rural. With several awards distributed to diverse suppliers, the process demonstrates an attractive prospect for growth in service provision within Wales, fostering partnerships and driving business development in the care sector.
