Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has concluded the public procurement process for providing domiciliary care and respite services in harder-to-reach and rural areas within the UKL18 region. As part of the services sector, this contract focuses on health and social work services, specifically aiming to support older individuals, adults with physical or sensory impairments, and those with mental health or learning disabilities. The procurement process was executed through an open procedure, concluding with the awarding of the contract to Padda Specialist Care Ltd. The procurement process commenced in February 2025, with the tender remaining active until March 27, 2025.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare and social work services, particularly those with experience in rural and inclusive caregiving. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Padda Specialist Care Ltd, which cater to welfare services for disabled and elderly persons, stand to benefit from these contracts. The focus on domiciliary care expands opportunities for service providers capable of fulfilling the needs in less accessible areas. As the contract involves considerable value and volume of services, businesses equipped to manage comprehensive service delivery and electronic invoicing have the potential to expand operations significantly within these domains.
