Award of Dynamic Purchasing System for Domiciliary Care Services in Powys

Powys County Council has completed a procurement process for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) aimed at providing domiciliary care services in Powys. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically within the social protection industry. The DPS will run for an initial ten-year period with a possibility of a five-year extension, subject to bi-annual reviews.

The procurement process followed a restricted procedure, and the recent award notice pertains to contracts under this system from August 2024. Suppliers are required to be registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales. This tender covers various geographical segments, including North and South Powys, with lots focused on domiciliary care for areas such as towns, rural, and remote rural regions.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in domiciliary and social care services. The framework agreement allows multiple providers to secure positions for future contracts, promoting business growth by offering consistent pipeline work. SMEs with capabilities to serve either densely populated areas, rural, or remote locations within Powys are well-suited to compete.

The dynamic nature of the DPS ensures that new providers can join at any stage, facilitating entry for innovative and adaptable companies in the care industry.
