Domiciliary Care Services

Carmarthenshire County Council · Local authority

In brief

Carmarthenshire County Council is looking for suppliers for care and healthcare work (Wales).

It is a framework worth up to £90,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

It is split into 25 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Bids close at 2pm, Wednesday 14 October 2026.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £90,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

The buyer expects to buy this again around September 2032.

What the notice says

Carmarthenshire County Council is establishing a Framework for the delivery of domiciliary support services, including community intake, community support, complex care, replacement care services for adults living in the community and community assessment service. The framework is intended to ensure the provision of high-quality, person-centred care that enables individuals to remain independent and safe at home. The Authority may, in accordance with the flexibility afforded under the Light Touch Regime (Section 9, PA23), undertake a refresh of this Framework at one or more intervals during the Framework Term. The Authority will publish a Tender Notice for each refresh event, clearly setting out the requirements, evaluation methodology and timeline. Suppliers admitted through the refresh shall be appointed on the same substantive terms as existing Framework Suppliers. The refresh may include, but shall not be limited to, varying the number, scope, extent and description of the Lots, Services and/or Pricing (as the case may be), together with the appointment of additional (new) Suppliers onto the Framework Agreement to maintain market access and continuity of service.

Should I bid?

Tick what applies to you. Nothing is saved.

How to bid

  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
  4. Send clarification questions before 2pm, Thursday 8 October 2026.
  5. Make sure your bid arrives before 2pm, Wednesday 14 October 2026. Late bids are usually rejected.
