The Council is procuring a Pseudo‑Dynamic Purchasing System to secure high quality placement arrangements for young people leaving care and other vulnerable young people across the Wakefield, Leeds, Barnsley and Kirklees Local Authority areas. The system is designed to admit suitable providers of group living, supported tenancy and floating support services, ensuring that these placements are carried out by experienced, established operators within the local community. There is no cap on the number of contractors that may be admitted, and the system operates on a non‑competitive basis.

The contract comprises three distinct lots. Lot 1 requires providers to deliver group living accommodation, where a young person resides in a multi‑occupancy property with shared communal facilities or a bed‑and‑breakfast type setting. Lot 2 covers supported tenancy, involving community‑based accommodation within the private or registered social landlord sector, supplemented by one‑to‑one staffing that can provide overnight support when necessary, to facilitate a transition to sustainable community living. Lot 3 focuses exclusively on floating support, offering flexible, community‑based assistance to young people who need help managing their own accommodation. Each lot will have an initial five‑year term with an option to extend for an additional five years, with the possibility of renewing the contract as required.

All facilities and support services must meet the national health, safety and social care regulations applicable to youth accommodation and care provision.

The City of Doncaster Council is establishing a Flexible Procurement System to provide specialised education services for children and young people with unique learning needs, including those experiencing school avoidance, trauma response behaviour, or other emotional and behavioural challenges. The framework will deliver a range of services across eight distinct lots. These include engagement and reintegration support, alternative provision for children with special educational needs and disabilities, pupil referral units for Key Stage 4 students at risk of exclusion, independent and residential special schools, post‑16 provision for young people with Education Health Care Plans, one‑to‑one tuition for learners unable to attend mainstream settings, and supported internship programmes to transition learners into employment.

Each lot requires providers to deliver full‑time, DfE‑registered education setting or tailored academic support that meets the specific needs outlined in each learner’s EHC Plan. Services must be delivered within the East Midlands region, with a contractual duration of up to 120 months, and shall be provided in accordance with the regulation that all providers possess an active Department of Education registration and adhere to the agreed assessment and support frameworks.

The NHS North West Leadership Academy, hosted by Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System to procure a comprehensive range of leadership development services. The DPS invites suppliers to provide expertise across fifteen distinct lots, including expert facilitation, deputy and executive development, coaching, mentoring, inclusion, diversity and equality learning, psychometric assessment tools, evaluation of programmes, and digital and creative publication support. The system is open to a broad spectrum of North West NHS contracting authorities and integrated care boards, allowing a wide array of organisations to take advantage of the procurement.

Suppliers will deliver education and training services based in Blackpool (UKD42) and will be expected to meet the award criteria outlined in the contract documentation, which goes beyond price to encompass quality of delivery, relevance to NHS leadership needs, and contribution to continuous professional development. The dynamic purchasing structure allows participation on a variant basis, enabling providers to bid on multiple or individual lots according to their expertise.

All services must adhere to the NHS education and training standards for leadership and professional development, ensuring measurable outcome delivery and alignment with the Academy’s commitment to inclusive, high‑quality learning environments.

The London Borough of Haringey is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System to acquire supported living services for vulnerable adults. The procurement covers a broad range of support needs, including physical disabilities, mental health, learning difficulties and positive behavioural support, and is intended to meet statutory obligations under the Housing Act, Homelessness Act and Care Act. The system will operate through a web‑based portal and allow the Council, as well as a designated set of local authorities, to award contracts within their respective geographical areas upon entering an access agreement.

Suppliers seeking entry to the DPS will be required to specify the service subcategories they are prepared to deliver. Within each service category, contracts will demand a core support package, supplemented by additional one‑to‑one support as detailed in individual support plans. Service subcategories include core support plus one‑to‑one for learning difficulty, mental health and physical disability, as well as accommodation and community‑based support for positive behavioural needs for both adults and children. Potential members may apply to multiple categories and are responsible for meeting the full scope of the selected subcategories.

The contracts awarded under this DPS will operate under the light‑touch regime of Sections 74 to 76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, meaning the full statutory procurement requirements are not applicable.

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.
