Further Competitions from the DPS for the provision of Domiciliary Care Jan - Mar 2026

Kirklees Council, in conjunction with the Greater Huddersfield Clinical Commissioning Group and North Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group, has established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of domiciliary care services. The purpose of the procurement exercise is to seek and appoint providers to the DPS, who have the relevant skills and experience, for the delivery of personal care and support (domiciliary care) in service users homes.

Kirklees Council and the CCG's have established a DPS to be able to access additional capacity in the market and be able to purchase services to support people to live successfully in their own homes with an appropriate range of person centred services and to enable Service Users receiving care to lead a good quality of life, maximising their independence, remain safe and comfortable in their own homes for as long as possible whilst maintaining their individual dignity, privacy and freedom of choice. The Council and ICB are responsible for arranging domiciliary care services to adults aged 18 and over, who have been assessed to meet the Councils eligibility criteria or eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare or 117 Aftercare.

This includes (but is not limited to) adults who have assessed care and support needs associated with older age, sensory impairment, learning disability, physical disability, physical ill health, chaotic lifestyles, substance misuse and mental illness including dementia. There are two categories within this DPS, to provide domiciliary care services.

Within each category there will be multiple Providers who will be responsible for ensuring the delivery of domiciliary care packages allocated to them through further competition. This is the award information for Category one further competitions January - March 2026
