The process is currently in the planning stage, with a preliminary market engagement notice published on 23rd June 2026, and a "Meet the Buyer" event scheduled for 8th July 2026. This procurement, conducted under the Light Touch Regime as per the Procurement Act 2023 and the Procurement (Wales) Regulations 2024, aims to secure services that align with well-being goals set out in relevant legislation. The contract is initially set for three years, starting 1st January 2027, with an option to extend for an additional two years, and it includes services under CPV classifications for health and social work, as well as other community services, with a total estimated contract value of £1,872,765. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for providers specializing in health and social work services, particularly those with experience in delivering care and supportive services to adults with learning disabilities. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find this opportunity particularly suitable given the procurement’s suitability criteria, including the support for these types of businesses. The demanding nature of the work requires well-qualified, experienced providers capable of delivering services that foster choice, control, and measurable outcomes for service users, aligning with the requirements of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. This is an exceptional opportunity to create partnerships with Powys County Council and contribute to social value and well-being in the local community over an extended contract period. ## Notice Powys County Council ("the Council") is seeking to appoint a suitably experienced, qualified, and competent provider to deliver External Day Opportunities for adults with a learning disability.

All care and support decisions will be underpinned by the presumption that individuals have the capacity to make decisions about their lifestyle, unless assessed otherwise. The Service is intended for individuals eligible for Adult Social Care support who have been assessed by Powys County Council Adult Services as requiring Day Opportunities. The Service Provider and the Council must ensure that all outcomes for service users are realistic, measurable, and aligned with identified needs, as well as the seven well-being goals set out in the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. Outcomes must also be deliverable within the agreed budget. The contract will be for an initial period of three (3) years, with the option to extend for up to a further one (1) year plus an additional one (1) year at the Council's discretion.
