Repairs and Maintenance DPS

his opportunity has been listed by LHC Procurement Group on behalf of our regional business:

Scottish Procurement Alliance (WPA)

This Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is designed to facilitate the procurement of repair, maintenance, and associated services across multiple disciplines, ensuring a structured and efficient response to urgent and planned works.

This new DPS will be for the provision of repair and maintenance service for the public sector for use by:

• Education
• Healthcare
• Emergency Services
• Housing and residential
• Public Sector buildings

The DPS is divided into fourteen lots, split between four primary workstreams, each containing specific lots tailored to address key areas of building maintenance.

Workstream 1 focuses on the building envelope and structural integrity, covering roofing repairs, external works, internal repairs including damp and mould, and the maintenance of windows, doors, and other openings.

Workstream 2 addresses mechanical and electrical (M&E) systems, ensuring the operational efficiency of plumbing, heating and cooling, electrical systems, lifts, and detection systems such as CCTV and fire alarms.

Workstream 3 provides environmental and infestation management, including property protection, pest control, and drainage solutions to maintain safety and hygiene.

Workstream 4 encompasses multi-disciplinary services, allowing for an integrated approach to complex projects covering multiple areas within a single contract.

To ensure adaptability, the DPS retains the flexibility to introduce additional lots in response to emerging industry requirements, as permitted under PCR 2015, provided that such modifications do not significantly alter the scope of the procurement. This ensures the DPS remains responsive to market developments, technological advancements, and regional needs, thereby offering contracting authorities a comprehensive and compliant procurement solution for a wide range of building maintenance and operational challenges.

LHC Procurement Group Limited is a not for profit central purchasing body acting on behalf of contracting authorities throughout England, Wales and Scotland (including partners of the Scottish Procurement Alliance, Welsh Procurement Alliance, and South West Procurement Alliance) for whom we continue to monitor up to 500 live projects at any one time. Thanks to their ongoing and collective feedback and input into the development of this framework and given the reach and scale of their collective portfolios, the framework is both designed and anticipated to support the vast majority of requirements. Consequently, other contracting authorities that were not specifically consulted in the development of this framework may nevertheless also deem the framework to offer a value for money procurement solution for their own requirements and may also use the framework. As of the date of publication of this notice our frameworks may be used by all contracting authorities in England, Wales and Scotland as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as listed on:

All organisations appointed will be expected to work with LHCPG and our clients to help identify, deliver and capture social value outcomes associated with the delivery of projects they are award through this DPS.

Where a client may not have already set out any social value requirements, then LHCPG would expect the appointed company to raise this with the client and jointly seek opportunities to evidence social value on each project through available data and pre/post works surveying.

The following metrics are examples of the social value outcomes implemented for RM DPS, however this is subject to change and a final suite will be discussed and applied as part of the onboarding and go-live of the DPS. LHCPG will work with appointed companies to ensure that all SV and project reporting requirements are proportional and achievable.
