This DPS arrangement, which covers various service lots like care for older people and dementia, among others, began the Call Off Contracts on 11 December 2017. The current notice involves contract awards effective from 11 September 2025 to 10 December 2025. The contract, initially set to end by 30 September 2025, has been extended and will now conclude on 31 March 2029, allowing continued participation and contract opportunities. The procurement method utilised is selective, under a call-off from the DPS. The total estimated contract value is £274,810,000, with its operations situated in the United Kingdom, specifically managed from Stafford, England. The DPS offers substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, to engage in the care services sector through its segmented lot structure. By participating in this system, businesses can benefit from long-term contracts and foster growth by providing specialised services across multiple lots. Businesses specialising in health and social work services, especially those registered with the Care Quality Commission, are well-suited to compete, allowing for enhanced service delivery and potential expansion within this critical industry area. With Staffordshire County Council as the buying organisation, companies can expect structured and transparent procurement processes, promoting mutual growth and the strengthening of local service provision networks. ## Notice Staffordshire County Council (the Council) has put in place a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) arrangement for the provision of residential and nursing care home services for its clients.
