This tender presents an opportunity for businesses operating in the health and social work services sector to compete for contracts to offer Domiciliary Care Services within the Torfaen County Borough Council jurisdiction. Businesses well-suited to compete would need to demonstrate their ability to deliver high-quality care services at competitive prices. The Council has outlined a clear procedure and criteria for selecting providers, emphasizing transparency and equal treatment of economic operators in the procurement process. Interested suppliers can participate in the tender with their own resources and at their own risk, as the Council will not incur any liability regarding the procurement exercise. ## Notice Creation of a Dynamic Purchasing System for the Provision of Domiciliary Care The services concerned fall under Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") and accordingly are subject to the so called 'Light Touch Regime' which means that when procuring these Services the Council should comply with the mandatory requirements set out in the Light Touch Regime (Regulations 74-77).
