The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for unspecified legal or justice-related services. The DPS will be valid for a period of five years, with a retendering process commencing approximately twelve months prior to its expiration.

Only contractors who are successfully admitted to the DPS will be eligible to submit bids for specific Lots, which represent distinct categories of services. The selection process for inclusion in the DPS is based on a pass/fail evaluation methodology. Any failure to meet the required criteria will result in the rejection of the bid.

Contractors intending to participate as part of a consortium or utilize subcontractors must submit separate Standard Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (SPDs) for each entity involved. Any changes to the composition of a consortium during the DPS period necessitate the submission of new SPDs for approval by the designated FLS DPS Manager. The contract award process will utilize weightings outlined in section II.2.5, although the Authority reserves the right to adjust these weightings by up to 20%.

The Cambridgeshire County Council is inviting specialist suppliers to design and fit out three library sites – East Barnwell, Darwin Green and Whittlesey – as part of a broader initiative to transform these facilities into community hubs that provide study areas, event spaces and public engagement venues. Each site will receive a bespoke design that includes furniture, signage, pathway elements and all required fittings, and the awarded contractor will be responsible for delivering the final design and completing the fit‑out work. The supply chain will be structured as three separate contracts, each with an anticipated six‑month design and construction period, subject to optional extensions of up to six months and a defect period of up to twelve months after handover.

The contract process requires close collaboration with the Library Service team and other stakeholders to ascertain local needs and desired outcomes. Submissions must outline an engagement strategy, present agreed final design concepts, and provide a comprehensive plan for delivering and installing all furnishings and fit‑out elements within the agreed timeframe. Technical compliance with the Council's design and accessibility standards is mandatory.

The Scottish Government is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for civil engineering projects valued up to five million pounds, to be employed across the entire Scottish public sector. The DPS encompasses six distinct lots covering general civil engineering works, roads, structures, geotechnical services, utilities, and maritime and flood‑related activities, all to be executed within Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands. Suppliers wishing to participate must submit a Single Procurement Document that includes financial standing, technical and professional ability, and an environmental management and climate‑change plan, and must provide evidence of at least one qualifying project within the last five years that meets the relevant value band.

Evaluation of offers will be based on a price‑quality ratio of 30 % price to 70 % quality, with weightings ranging from 10 % to 50 % for price and 50 % to 90 % for quality. Design capability is often required, as many works may be on a design‑and‑build basis, with the Principal Designer role retaining responsibility under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 or equivalent. The DPS will run for up to 72 months, with renewal options, and will require the nominated suppliers to meet the stated entry criteria and provide service coverage across specified geographic areas and value bands.

Suppliers must comply with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (or equivalent) and provide the required Technical and Professional Ability Workbook, Financial Standing Workbook, and Environmental Management and Climate Change Plan.

South Lanarkshire Council is inviting service providers to join a 15‑year Procured Services Arrangement (PSA) for the delivery of Care at Home and Housing Support Services under Self‑Directed Support regulations. The arrangement, beginning 1 July 2024, will allow new providers to be added over its life, ensuring supported persons residing within South Lanarkshire have the flexibility to choose a provider that best meets their needs.

The PSA is aimed at delivering predominantly personal care services in the supported persons' own homes, with the potential for non‑personal care and housing support where assessed needs warrant. The services will support a wide range of individuals—including older adults, people with learning or physical disabilities, children and families, and other vulnerable groups—who have been identified by the Council and South Lanarkshire Health and Social Care Partnership as requiring assistance to maintain or regain independence, safety, health and wellbeing, including post‑hospital care and support that would otherwise necessitate admission to long‑term care facilities.

Providers must be registered with the Care Inspectorate as a Support Service – Care at Home and, where applicable, a Housing Support Service, with a recent inspection grade of 3 or higher; all staff must hold Scottish Social Services Council registration and be vetted in accordance with the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007, and maintain the required levels of employer’s liability and public liability insurance.

The Walk Wheel Cycle Trust intends to commission a comprehensive residents’ travel behavior, satisfaction, and attitude survey for 2027. The study will cover up to sixteen areas across the United Kingdom and will focus on walking, wheeling, cycling, and public transport. A representative sample of local residents will be asked about the way they travel, how satisfied they are with the available options, and their attitudes toward the broader mobility ecosystem.

To deliver the required outputs, the successful contractor will design a research methodology and questionnaire that is fully compatible with the methodology and tools used in prior surveys. The contractor will then administer the “push‑to‑online” fieldwork, clean and analyze the collected data, and provide the specified results to the Trust for subsequent analysis and modeling. The methodology and questionnaire tools must be compatible with those used in previous iterations.
