Summary of the contracting process

Powys County Council is reopening Lot 3 of its framework for support services for babies, children, young people and families. The requirement is for staff providing other support provision within children’s services, including agency staff as required. The services span education and training, health and social work. Delivery is in Powys, Wales. This is an opportunity to join an existing framework alongside its current suppliers, so the work is drawn down as the council needs agency staff rather than being described as a single fixed assignment.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure to add new suppliers to the existing framework. The deadline for questions was 16 October 2026 at 17:00, and bids were due by 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is due to run from 7 January 2027 to 6 January 2030, with two possible one-year extensions at the council’s discretion; the framework scheme can run to 31 March 2033. The estimated value is £1,409,274. Evaluation gives technical quality 80% and cost 20%. Economic and technical selection criteria apply, with requirements set out in the tender documents. Bids may be submitted in English or Welsh.

The framework may suit providers able to supply agency staff for children’s services and deliver support to babies, children, young people and families across Powys. It is expressly marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller or mission-led providers may be relevant competitors as well as larger agencies. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate both technical capability and economic standing against the selection requirements in the tender documents. Strong technical proposals matter most in evaluation, with price also assessed. Joining the framework offers a route to be considered for staffing requirements as the council calls on suppliers, rather than a commitment to a stated volume of work.
