When this comes round again

East Suffolk Council publishes Environment & Waste work continuously — 23 notices, roughly one every 49 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

30% of East Suffolk Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

The brief

East Suffolk Council is inviting interested suppliers to support the delivery of the multi-million-pound Lowestoft Town Investment Plan, by joining a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide Works and Services in the town and surrounding area.

Projects within the Lowestoft Town Investment Plan, along with any similar projects which may arise in the future and fall within the programme scope, will be grouped into lots.

Suppliers, once qualified, may bid for individual tenders under the lots in the DPS.

The DPS will provide a full range of procurement activities over the next 10 years- projects on all lots will be of varying sizes and will provide exciting contracts for large and small, local, regional and national providers throughout the lifetime of the Lowestoft Investment Plan.

The DPS will be hosted by In-tend eSourcing systems and will be a fully electr
