POWYS COUNTY COUNCIL

This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

Powys County Council is reopening a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Domiciliary Care Services within Powys, focusing on social protection and general public services. Located in Llandrindod Wells, the Council invites contractors to join the DPS, creating an approved list for service provision. This restricted procedure, under the new Procurement Act 2023, mandates existing DPSs to conclude by February 2029, with submissions open electronically until the end of this period. The tender's current stage is active under the selective procurement method. Interested parties are encouraged to engage early to optimise participation in available Lots such as Sessional Domiciliary Care and Live-in Care.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for domiciliary care providers, particularly those registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW). The DPS, comprising multiple Lots, allows businesses to bid for one or more service areas, enhancing flexibility and reach within the Powys region. Ideal competitors are well-established care providers or consortia capable of delivering comprehensive domiciliary support aligned with the Council's constitution and technical selection criteria. This opportunity supports expanding market presence in social care services, with potential long-term contracting prospects until 2029.
