Engagement process description

Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) will shortly be recommissioning its Domiciliary Care Services and its officers are keen to attract a number of quality domiciliary care providers who are interested in working with us.

In order to further develop these plans, BCBC is looking to carry out a market testing event with independent domiciliary care providers to gain a provider's perspective on the service model that BCBC will be looking to introduce from April 2026.

The market testing events will be in the form of individual meetings with providers and will be facilitated by BCBC using Microsoft Teams. They will take place over 30-minute appointment slots during the week of Monday 15th September - Friday 19th September 2025.

To enable us to determine numbers, could you please email Kirsty Best with your request to kirsty.best@bridgend.gov.uk by close of play on Wednesday 10 September 2025. Once numbers have been collated, Kirsty will then send a Microsoft Teams invite.
