The brief

The purpose of this procurement is to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System Contract Agreement (“DPS Contract Agreement”) for the provision of Approved Estates Services Contractors.

It is anticipated that the Authority will appoint multiple suppliers that meet the requirement of the Invitation to Tender and Specification for the provision in the DPS.

The DPS will permit the Estates department to direct award or engage in mini-competition quotations for future provisions of works to compliant suppliers awarded to the DPS against the trades detailed in 2.3 & Appendix 1 – Specification on a case-by-case basis.

It is anticipated there will be spend estimated between £994K to £2.5M annually over the lifetime of the DPS.

There will be no guaranteed level of business to arise from award to the DPS as individual future works projects will be quoted and priced on a case-by-case basis.
