Summary of the contracting process

Powys County Council is procuring a care and support service at the Pont Aur Extra Care Light scheme in Ystradgynlais. The service will support people living in extra care housing, helping them remain independent in their own homes while meeting assessed care and support needs. The scheme is being modernised into an Extra Care Light model with 43 properties: 41 apartments and two attached bungalows, including 12 new purpose-built apartments. The provider will deliver onsite care and support from 7am to 11pm throughout the year, under a 112-hour weekly core service, with additional planned care packages arranged separately for individual needs. This is a health and social care service, with wider community and personal service elements, delivered in Ystradgynlais for the Council.

The procurement has reached tender: Powys County Council invited offers through an open procedure under the Light Touch Regime. The enquiry deadline was 12 October 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline is 19 October 2026 at 17:00. The evaluation and award decision is due by 16 November 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 31 January 2027 to 31 January 2030, with options to extend for two years plus a further two years, to a maximum end date of 31 January 2034. The estimated contract value is £1,050,000 including tax. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on technical quality at 60% and price at 40%. Economic and technical selection requirements are set out in the tender documentation.

This opportunity suits an established care provider able to operate an onsite service in an extra care housing environment and provide reliable cover from 7am to 11pm every day. The successful provider must be suitably qualified and experienced, registered with Care Inspectorate Wales, and able to comply with CIW requirements and the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016, including later amendments. Suppliers should be able to organise a 112-hour weekly core service, respond to residents’ assessed care and support needs, and coordinate additional planned care packages. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Strong technical delivery and regulatory compliance will be important because quality carries greater evaluation weight than price.
