Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Powys County Council focuses on the provision of care for residential care homes in Powys under the title "Older Person Care Home Accommodation - Transforming Care for a Bright Future". This contract is significant within the health and social work services industry, falling under the special "lightTouch" regime and spanning the region of UKL24 in the United Kingdom. The procurement has successfully progressed to the award stage as of 19th December 2025, following an open and competitive flexible procedure. Notably, two lots were contracted out, with Shaw Healthcare Group Ltd being a recipient. The contracts are set to commence on 1st June 2026, with options for renewal up to 2046, marking a substantive engagement aimed at advancing care home capacities and services across the county of Powys.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for growth, particularly for businesses operating within health, social work, and associated service industries. Companies with capabilities in providing high-quality residential and nursing care, including those specialising in dementia services, can greatly benefit. While Shaw Healthcare Group Ltd has been awarded the contract, future renewals and extensions allow for other skilled participants to demonstrate the ability to align with Powys County Council's vision for sustainable and innovative care services. Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) that meet quality and price criteria, as specified in the procurement process, would be particularly well-suited to engage in the long-term operational and development opportunities represented by this venture.
