Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council has initiated a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of domiciliary care services in the Powys region. The service category falls under social protection, with a specific focus on providing care, including for individuals with dementia, across town, rural, and remote rural areas. The buying organisation is located at County Hall, Llandrindod Wells, in the UKL24 region.

The DPS commenced its activities with the awarding stage, having completed the procurement process using a selective, restricted procedure. Services under this programme are expected to be carried forward for an initial span of 10 years, with potential extensions influenced by bi-annual reviews, and an open system for new providers to onboard, making it a consistent opportunity for continued service provision competition. This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) to expand their service offerings in the Powys regional partnership area.

The open nature of the DPS offers continuous onboarding opportunities for new entrants, enhancing accessibility for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in domiciliary care services. Businesses capable of providing personalised care solutions, including those tailored for dementia patients, across diverse locations in Powys, are well-suited to benefit from this long-term contract. The tender has seen involvement from multiple suppliers, exemplified by organisations such as Affinity Homecare Group and PEOPLE SUPPORT LTD, highlighting an actively engaging market space for domiciliary care providers.
