London & Quadrant Housing Trust- Mechanical and Electrical Combined Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)

London and Quadrant Housing Trust is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System to procure a wide range of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) services for its self‑delivered new build projects. The framework will cover first and final fix work for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations, as well as design, building management systems, heating and ventilation, security and life‑safety systems, and optional projects such as CHP and heat recovery systems. Providers will be admitted through a pre‑qualification questionnaire and can opt in to individual project tenders through the Trust’s In‑Tend e‑procurement portal, after which a mini‑competition will identify suitable subcontractors for each project.

The system is structured into value‑based lots to accommodate suppliers of all sizes, including SMEs and VCSEs. Successful contractors will be required to meet the admission criteria detailed in the SSQ and to comply with all applicable public contract regulations.
