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.

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.

London and Quadrant Housing Trust, together with its subsidiary Quadrant Construction Services, is inviting suppliers to join a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) that will supply logistics services for its Self‑Delivered New Build Projects. The objective of this procurement is to create a framework that allows qualified contractors to provide the movement, handling, and delivery of building materials, equipment, and consumables required throughout the construction lifecycle, ensuring efficient coordination across the project team. The DPS will be open to any admitted supplier throughout its period of validity, with admission determined by a pre‑qualification questionnaire and ongoing compliance with Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015.

Under the agreed scope, subcontractors must manage and resourced all labour, small tools, consumables, plant, and equipment necessary to complete the logistics work, unless otherwise agreed in writing. They are also required to interface and coordinate with a wide array of trades and consultants—including groundworkers, scaffolders, brickworkers, steelworkers, roofers, carpenters, and painters—to preserve schedule integrity and site safety. All supplied goods, services, and activities must be delivered under the contractual requirements set by the Contractor, encompassing all responsibilities that fall within the overarching works package.

Suppliers must satisfy the pre‑qualification criteria and comply with PCR 2015 requirements.

Lancashire County Council is establishing a pseudo‑dynamic purchasing system (PDPS) that will act as a curated register of children’s home service providers capable of delivering the required support within the council’s geographical boundaries. The PDPS will remain in force for a ten‑year term, allowing the council and any successor authority, including Blackpool Council, to award service contracts on a call‑off basis in accordance with the terms set out in the invitation to participate. The aim is to create a stable, qualified supply base that can meet statutory and organisational imperatives for children’s home placements across the region.

Prospective suppliers must apply through the council’s procurement portal, submitting evidence that satisfies the evaluation criteria detailed in the procurement documents. New applications are accepted up to the initial deadline, after which subsequent applications will be assessed at predetermined intervals. Selected providers will enter into call‑off contracts that enable the council to place children into homes as demand evolves. Providers must meet all stated criteria and be located within the specified territorial boundaries to qualify for inclusion in the PDPS.

The tender concerns the procurement of professional development and training services for staff employed by Nottinghamshire County Council. The Council’s HR and Workforce Development team is responsible for ensuring that employees remain knowledgeable and competent in line with the latest government priorities and requirements for the delivery of local services. In particular, the training must equip staff who support service users with the essential skills and knowledge to perform their duties safely, respectfully, and in accordance with current health and safety expectations.

Providers will be required to deliver a range of learning opportunities that support the continual professional development of the Council’s workforce, including classroom instruction, online modules and practical exercises. The services should be designed to meet both the Council’s internal learning needs and the regulatory frameworks that govern public service provision, ensuring that all staff are fully prepared to deliver high‑quality services to the community while safeguarding their own well‑being and that of third parties.

All training must adhere to HSE directives and health and safety legislation.
