Summary of the contracting process

Powys County Council has completed a procurement process under the award stage for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) aimed at providing domiciliary care services in Powys, with a focus on health and social work services. This service is structured for an initial period of 10 years, with a possible extension of 5 years, ensuring flexibility and sustained service provision. The procurement, classified under CPV code 85000000, follows a selective methodology via a restricted procedure. The key suppliers awarded include Affinity Homecare Group, People Support Ltd, Abacare (Care Agency) Ltd, Q Care Limited, and Phoenix Homecare and Support Ltd, with contract commencement from September 2020 and significant awards taking place in October 2025, totalling £6140.24. The procurement stage has concluded with completed awards, offering areas of service in both North and South Powys, including urban, rural, and remote rural care provision.

The establishment of the DPS fosters business growth by maintaining an open system where new providers can join by completing a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire, thus attracting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in health and social care services. Businesses that are registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and are capable of delivering high-quality domiciliary support in various geographical settings within Powys are particularly well-suited to compete in this market. The DPS encourages competition and innovation in service delivery, thereby providing a lucrative opportunity for SMEs to sustain and expand their operations while contributing to community welfare.
