When this comes round again

Scottish Government publishes Furniture & Furnishings work continuously — 8 notices, roughly one every 70 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

25% of Scottish Government’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

The Scottish Government is establishing a collaborative Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Requirements Reserved for Supported Businesses.

A key objective of this DPS is to continue to provide the Scottish public sector and third sector bodies a straightforward, flexible route to market for a range of goods and services provided by supported businesses and in doing so, support the integration of disabled and disadvantaged citizens into the mainstream workforce.

The DPS will be on a single Lot basis that will hold a wide range of goods and services provided by supported businesses.

Descriptions of these goods and services and any subsequent categorisation will be provided via publicly available guidance documentation.

Potential participants must complete the SPD (Single Procurement Document) held within PCS Tender and meet the minimum entry criteria to participate in the DPS.

Participants must also complete within this SPD, Annex A to this Dynamic Purchasing System which requests confirmation from bidders on their meeting of the reserved contract criteria described as the ‘two part test’ introduced by European Directive 2014/24/EU and given effect in Scotland through the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, Section 2, Regulation 21.

For details of public sector organisations who can access the DPS please see section III.1) Conditions for participation.

The Requirements Reserved for Supported Businesses DPS will be open for new applicants throughout the lifetime of the DPS.

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.
