Construction & Asset Upgrade / Reinvestment Works DPS

Orbit Group ("Orbit") is seeking to appoint experienced and highly competent Contractors onto a Dynamic Purchasing System ("DPS") for Construction & Asset Upgrade / Reinvestment Works in the Midlands, East Anglia, Southeast England, and London regions. The scope will cover all Special Projects requirements. This DPS may then be used to conduct mini competitions for future requirements. Contractors should be aware that being permitted onto this DPS is not a guarantee of any work.

A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is a specific type of procurement agreement outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015). This is a set of legal requirements which governs how we can buy goods and services and works from suppliers to ensure fairness and value for money. It offers a flexible and efficient way for Public Sector bodies to access pre-qualified suppliers for commonly used goods, services, or works.

A DPS effectively puts Contractors on an approved supplier list for the types of work they can do in the area that they can do it.

A DPS is a flexible way for organisations who are covered by the Regulations to select from a list of approved suppliers for specific services that they buy regularly.

By having a DPS, Orbit can streamline the procurement process for all requirements that would fall under the named Lots within the DPS so that, once suppliers are qualified, they do not have to demonstrate their suitability and capability every time they wish to compete for a contract. This makes the award of individual contracts faster than it would otherwise be without the DPS.

Lots to be included:

Lot 1 - Resurfacing - Repairs or Replacement Lot 2 - Structural (Subsidence) Lot 3 - Drainage & Associated Works Lot 4 - External Fabric Wall & Coverings - Repair or Replacement Lot 5 - Fencing & Boundaries - Repair or Replacement Lot 6 - Flat or Pitched Roofing - Repairs or Replacement Lot 7 - Windows & Doors - Replacement Roofline (soffits/fascia/rainwater goods) Lot 8 - Communal Floor Coverings - Repair or Replacement Lot 9 - General Construction Works (Multi Discipline) - Small to Medium

A Construction & Asset Upgrade / Reinvestment Works DPS to cover all Special Projects that cannot or should not be covered any other existing contracts, either due to it falling outside of areas of expertise or due to capacity.

The estimated annual value of all lots combined is £4M, £20M over the proposed initial 5 year term.

You can access the DPS Documents via Procontract Ref DN724019 https://procontract.due-north.com
