The Energy Efficiency & Renewable Technology Dynamic Purchasing System is designed to allow public sector bodies to procure a broad range of inspection, repair, and replacement services for energy‑efficient and renewable technology installations. Within the DPS, contracting authorities can engage qualified suppliers for routine maintenance of heating, ventilation and air‑conditioning units, air source and ground source heat pumps, district and network heating networks, solar photovoltaic arrays, battery storage systems and electric‑vehicle charging stations. The system operates as an independent framework that complements the LHC Procurement Group’s N9 framework, while staying flexible enough to incorporate emerging technologies such as hydrogen heating, building information modelling solutions, smart metering, and multidisciplinary renewable projects without the need to initiate a new procurement process.

Each lot within the DPS specifies the activities required to sustain system performance and safety. In the case of heating and ventilation, boiler and pump servicing, radiator bleeding, filter replacement, and control system calibration are mandatory. Ground source heat pumps require leak detection, pressure testing, antifreeze management, ductwork inspection and thermostat calibration. Solar panels demand cleaning, inverter and grounding checks, performance monitoring, and wiring inspections. Battery stations mandate charge‑health monitoring, corrosion prevention, temperature control, and software updates, whereas EV charging stations call for cable and connector inspection, electrical safety checks, and firmware updates. All work is governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and must adhere to relevant safety and environmental guidelines.

The DPS is structured to permit the addition of new lots in response to market developments, ensuring that public sector entities maintain access to innovative, low‑carbon solutions that meet sustainability goals, funding conditions, and regulatory compliance. Timely and effective maintenance reduces equipment failure, extends equipment life, and supports decarbonisation targets across the UK. All work must comply with PCR 2015, safety regulations, and environmental guidelines.

The BuildDPS main contractor framework is a dynamic purchasing system designed to procure construction services for the Sanctuary Housing Association’s diverse portfolio of projects. The procurement will cover new build residential, care, extra‑care and supported living developments, mixed residential and commercial schemes, the conversion of existing buildings for residential or commercial use, and any other new build activities that fall within the regular scope of the association.

Contractors will be required to operate within specified work categories—Residential Design & Build, Residential Affordable Housing, Residential conversions and refurbishments, Care Homes, Extra Care or Supported Living accommodation, and Other Commercial projects such as student housing—across a range of regions, from the East Midlands to Scotland. Applicants must submit their registrations electronically through the Local Supply Chain portal, ensuring choice of the correct sub‑region, work category, and value band. Eligibility is contingent on meeting established health and safety accreditations, insurance coverage, turnover thresholds, and demonstrating the technical competence outlined in the invitation to tender.

All call‑offs and contract management will be handled via the portal, with the framework’s validity set until 23 February 2029, subject to potential extension. Contractors must comply with the public contract regulations and the Procurement Act 2023, ensuring adherence to all health and safety standards.

Milton Keynes City Council is opening a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to support its capital programme of bus stop upgrades across the city. The system will enable the council to procure, on a recurrent basis, the supply and installation of bus‑stop infrastructure components and to award contracts directly under the DPS terms. Tender submissions are accepted throughout the DPS term, which runs from 27 January 2025 to 23 February 2029, and awarded work will span the duration specified in each contract.

The DPS is designed as a multi‑provider scheme with no cap on the number of suppliers admitted, provided they meet the council’s selection criteria and maintain current, accurate information. New suppliers may apply at any point during the term, and the council retains the right to review material changes to any application. Contracts awarded under the DPS will have no guaranteed volume of work or fixed value, but the total value of all contracts administered through the system will remain within the statutory ceiling, and no additional options or variants will be accepted.

Suppliers must demonstrate relevant experience, qualifications, and the ability to meet the technical specifications and quality standards required for bus‑stop infrastructure projects. All contractual documents and submissions must be provided in English. Compliance with the specified technical standards governing bus‑stop design, materials, and installation is mandatory.

The Warwickshire County Council is establishing a dynamic purchasing system to secure the supply of a suite of road traffic surveys. Through this system suppliers will be able to provide automatic traffic count, junction turning count, active travel, automatic number plate recognition and parking surveys across the county’s highway network. Each survey type is designed to run for specific durations—two‑week periods for traffic counts, weekday spikes for turning, active travel and parking surveys, and compact intervals for ANPR—providing comprehensive data on vehicle volumes, speeds, classifications, origin‑destination journeys, emissions, and parking usage.

Operators elected to the DPS will register with the council’s free e‑tendering platform, In‑Tend, with all communication funneled through the system’s correspondence function. Upon successful admission and a 30‑day initial period, suppliers will receive notifications of contracting opportunities and may choose to bid on the tasks that suit their capabilities. The system is structured as a recurring procurement with a four‑year validity and the possibility of renewal, while options and variants are excluded.

All surveys must conform to UK road safety and data protection standards.
