Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

This procurement process, initiated by Powys County Council, concerns the "Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys". It falls under the industry category of social protection and serves the UKL24 region, specifically Powys, Wales. The buying organisation, Powys County Council, a regional or local authority based in Llandrindod Wells, is implementing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for domiciliary care services.

The system began with an award phase announced on 19 May 2025, covering various services, including care for people with dementia, scheduled for an initial 10-year duration with potential extensions. It includes multiple lots focusing on different localities (town, rural, and remote rural) and follows a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, with the main category being services. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are capable of delivering high-quality domiciliary care services within the Powys region.

SMEs like ABICARE SERVICES LIMITED, PHOENIX HOMECARE AND SUPPORT LTD, SILVER ASSIST HOMECARE LIMITED, Back to Basics Care & Training Ltd, and Llewelyn Support Services Ltd have already been successful in this award process, highlighting the accessibility for businesses of similar scale and capabilities. The ongoing nature of the DPS allows new providers to enter the market, fostering a competitive environment that supports business growth. Businesses registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and specialising in social services, particularly within care provision, are well-positioned to benefit from this procurement process.

This initiative underscores the Council's commitment to enhancing local service provision while offering substantial opportunities for regional business partnerships and growth.
