## Summary

The City & County of Swansea intends to procure domiciliary care services for people living in Swansea. The service will support older people aged 65 and over, younger adults aged 18 to 64 with a physical disability and/or sensory impairment, and individuals with mental health or learning disabilities who have presenting care needs. This is a health and social care services requirement, covering the delivery of care in people’s homes rather than residential accommodation. The procurement is being managed by the council as the public buyer. The planned service is grouped into one requirement and is intended to provide care across the Swansea area.

This is a planned procurement: the council has stated its intention to buy the service, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use an above-threshold open procedure under the light-touch regime, with a framework agreement. The estimated value is £131,000,000 excluding VAT, or £157,200,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is from 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2032, with a possible extension to 30 September 2037 and renewal provisions. The council expects to publish the next procurement notice on 1 March 2027. The requirement is planned as one lot. Scope and dates may change before the procurement is advertised.

The requirement is likely to suit established domiciliary care providers able to deliver safe, person-centred support in people’s homes across Swansea. Relevant providers may include organisations experienced in caring for older people, adults with physical disabilities or sensory impairments, and people with mental health or learning disabilities. Businesses should assess whether they can serve these different groups and respond to presenting care needs through an organised home-care operation. The council has identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller care organisations and mission-led providers may be well placed to prepare. Providers should monitor the planned procurement and prepare evidence of their relevant service capability.
