The procurement process, which utilises a restricted procedure, falls under the Social work services category and adheres to the principles of a Dynamic Purchasing System. Active responses can be submitted via an electronic submission method on the eTenderwales portal, with a submission deadline set for 27 March 2026. This opportunity targets providers registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales to serve the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board region and will remain active until February 22, 2029, unless requirements change. The tender presents a significant opportunity for companies involved in social work services to expand their operations by securing a position on the approved provider list. Businesses that are already registered in the relevant region with CIW can benefit from pre-established pathways to offer domiciliary care services, although Newport City Council does not guarantee any immediate contracts. New entrants in the market have an open avenue to propose their services. The framework agreement encourages operational flexibility and potential growth within a structured procurement system, ideal for companies looking to scale their services in the Newport area, leveraging a substantial contract value of £55 million GBP. ## Notice Newport City Council invites tenders for the appointment to the approved list for the provision of domiciliary care services within the geographical area of Newport. The approved list was established in 2024 and operates with the same principles of a Dynamic Purchasing System and has been opened for offers from new entrants in the market. NB: Providers who are currently appointed do not have to apply. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Providers who are interested in applying to be appointed to the established approved list for domiciliary care must be registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) to provide the service within the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB) region. Providers who are not currently registered with the ABUHB region to provide the service and are successful, must do so before they are considered for any packages of care. The call off procedure for the approved list is detailed within the tender documents. If appointed, providers should note that the Newport City Council does not guarantee any work or services will be awarded to them. The approved provider list operates similar to a DPS in accordance with PCR 2015 and will continue until 22 February 2029 unless it no longer meets the requirements of Newport City Council.
