Summary of the contracting process

Powys County Council has completed the procurement process using a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for domiciliary care services in Powys, a region classified as UKL24. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category, and it utilises a restricted procedure. This process culminates in the awarding of contracts, which were active from May 2025, with suppliers ABICARE SERVICES LIMITED, Affinity Homecare, SEREN SUPPORT SERVICES LTD, and Abacare (Care Agency) Ltd benefiting from the awards. The procedure involved selective bidding with the entire contract valued at £7,494.44. Notably, the DPS for this procurement is designed to remain open for a period of 10 years, extendable by five years, enabling new providers to qualify over time.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW), as evidenced by the involvement of several SMEs in the awarded contracts. Businesses specialising in health and social work services, with experience in domiciliary care, especially catering to individuals with dementia across town, rural, and remote rural areas, will find this dynamic purchasing system advantageous for growth. Additionally, the extended open duration of the DPS allows for ongoing participation and competitiveness, making it suitable for both new entrants and established entities seeking to expand their reach within the social care sector in Powys.
