Construction and Development DPS

SEC Procurement Limited is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Development and Construction Works. This DPS aims to simplify the procurement process for construction projects across various categories and regions. The system is divided into five distinct project value categories: Site Preparation, New Build & Construction up to £499,999, New Build & Construction from £5 million to £9,999,999, New Build & Construction from £10 million to £49,999,999, and New Build & Construction over £50 million.

Suppliers can apply for inclusion in multiple categories and specify the geographical regions within which they are willing to undertake projects. This regional selection can be modified by suppliers during the DPS lifecycle. Access to the DPS is granted to Corporate Members of SEC Procurement Limited and Public bodies or contracting authorities who sign an Access Agreement as Associate Members.

The DPS framework allows for Further Competition Contracts, with durations potentially exceeding those of individual contracts. SEC Procurement Limited manages the DPS and enters into agreements with successful suppliers.

We are tendering a DPS for Construction and Development Works. The DPS will run for 4 years. If successful, you will have the opportunity to consider local and regional contracts through Further Competition Contracts called off may, where appropriate, exceed the duration of the DPS.
The SEC legal entity is SEC Procurement Limited. SEC Procurement Limited is the contracting authority for the purposes of this procurement exercise and will be the entity that enters into the DPS Agreement with the successful suppliers.
The DPS may be accessed by:
- All corporate Members of SEC Procurement Limited from time to time; and
- All other public bodies and contracting authorities (as defined in UK public procurement legislation) who enter into an Access Agreement with SEC Procurement Limited to access the DPS - referred to in the DPS Agreement as Associate Members.
Our mission is to support our members, customers, clients and suppliers in delivering a brilliant service to end-users through collaborative procurement and in compliance with the current and future Procurement Regulations (Public Contract Regulations 2015 and The Procurement Act 2023).

The DPS will be divided into 5 categories as follows:

Category Number Description
1 Site Preparation, including demolition and clearance, decontamination, reinstatement and remediation
2 New Build & Construction up to a value of ?4,99,999
3 New Build & Construction of a value over ?5 million up to ?9,999,999
4 New Build & Construction of a value over ?10 million up to ?49,999,999
5 New Build & Construction of a value over ?50 million

In their Selection Questionnaire response, suppliers must state which categories they are applying for and the regions in which they are willing and able to undertake Development and Construction Works. Please note that during the course of the DPS, it will be possible for suppliers to modify the regions covered as their business evolves.

There are no restrictions on the number of Categories or regions that a supplier may apply for.

Registering on the SEC portal
To participate in this and any future SEC tenders or applications, you will be required to register your company details on this website. https://in-tendhost.co.uk/southeastconsortium/aspx/Home .

At the point of registration, suppliers are asked to include a single point of contact in their organisation for their response to the procurement.
SEC will not be responsible for contacting the supplier through any route other than the nominated contact. The supplier must therefore make any changes relating to the contact promptly via the SEC portal. When registering, please make sure the publish e-mail address field is completed accurately. This is the e-mail address that will receive automated emails from the system including details on application progress.
When you have completed registration, you will then be able to access the various tender areas of the portal. You will then be informed by automated email once documentation has been published. You can then access the documents by logging into the website again and going to the 'my tenders' area of the website.
