The procurement seeks to establish a new Electronic Market Place (EMP) for Supported Living Services (SLS) on behalf of Kirklees Council and the NHS Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The EMP will replace the existing framework agreement and will allow fresh providers to join, enabling the Council and the CCG to contract with suitably qualified organisations who can deliver flexible supported living care that empowers adult service users to live independently in their own homes or in shared accommodation. Branded as a multi‑provider agreement, the SLS EMP will provide 1:1 support to enable access to community activities and social engagement for those with a range of health and social care needs.

The contract is divided into two overall lots that distinguish between floating support for individuals in private homes and provision for users in shared accommodation. Within each lot the service requirements are further split into seven distinct categories that mirror primary care needs of service users: learning disabilities with or without autism or challenging behaviours; autism spectrum conditions; enduring severe mental health conditions; personality disorder; complex physical or sensory impairments and long‑term health conditions; acquired brain injury; and persistent or chronic drug and alcohol dependencies. The majority of the services will be regulated activities, so providers must be registered with the Care Quality Commission and must be familiar with CQC Regulation Guidance on regulated activity. All technical details and terms are set out in the general specification and the accompanying terms and conditions.

Anglian Water Services Ltd. is procuring a comprehensive Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to supply, lease, hire, and maintain a complete range of motor vehicles for its Fleet Services and Water Recycling Operational Logistics (WROL) teams. The DPS will cover all vehicle categories – from passenger cars and 4‑wheel drive (4x4) vehicles to light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, as well as trailers and mobile units – and will provide both outright purchase and flexible leasing or short‑ and long‑term hire arrangements. The framework is intended to support the acquisition of alternative‑fuel or otherwise green‑powered vehicles alongside conventional internal combustion alternatives, with maintenance services, including 24‑hour breakdown response for heavy commercial vehicles, integrated into the same system.

Each vehicle type is organised into separate contractual lots that allow variations but do not include optional sub‑contracts. The system will enable buyers within the specified UK regions to obtain vehicles that meet the evolving operational needs of Anglian Water while maintaining cost‑effective and environmentally responsible sourcing. Requirement: vehicles must be compliant with UK green vehicle standards and support alternative fuel technologies.

South Kesteven District Council is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System to provide temporary accommodation for homeless individuals, couples, and families across West Lindsey, South Kesteven, North Kesteven and South Holland. The council will procure this service over an eight‑year term starting 1 April 2023, with the flexibility to cancel at its discretion. Individual placement orders under the DPS will be tailored to the assessed needs of each service user, allowing variable durations, while the council does not commit to a particular frequency or number of placements.

The procurement is designed to meet statutory obligations under the Homeless Reduction Act 2017 for South Kesteven, and to support the broader Lincolnshire homeless strategy and Rough Sleeper Scheme in neighbouring districts. It aims to secure a mix of accommodation that is accessible to small and medium enterprises, cost‑effective, efficient, and socially valuable to the region, with a focus on delivering suitable housing close to public transport, shopping, schools, places of worship, and medical facilities.

Accommodation must be suitable for all types of service users and located within a reasonable distance to public transport, shops, schools, places of worship, medical facilities and other amenities.

The procurement seeks to establish a Flexible Agreement for the provision of fostering agency placements across Lancashire and its partner authorities, including Blackpool, Blackburn with Darwen and the restructured Cumbria unitary authorities. The contract will remain in effect for nine years, allowing contracting authorities to award call‑off agreements to approved independent foster care providers through a periodic evaluation process.

The agreement is divided into three distinct lots: mainstream foster care (Lot 1), which covers placements for children and young people aged 0‑4, 5‑10, 11‑15, 16 + and parent‑child placements; enhanced foster care (Lot 2), which provides placements and support services for children with enhanced needs; and step‑down foster care (Lot 3), which offers placements and support for children transitioning from residential care or those on a trajectory toward residential placement. Successful providers for Lot 1 may also be considered for Lot 2 and/or Lot 3, ensuring a streamlined entry pathway for agencies.

To join the agreement, independent providers must meet the specified criteria, submit all required documentation electronically via the council’s iSupplier portal, and undergo an evaluation in accordance with the invitation to participate. Applicants will receive an outcome notification and, if successful, will sign the Flexible Agreement. All applications must comply with stipulated insurance, financial, consortium, exclusion, reference, and quality standards. The agreement also requires providers to maintain in‑house register of households and adhere to prescribed quality and pricing criteria.

The tender issued by London and Quadrant Housing Trust seeks service providers and consultants to conduct external wall reviews, fire inspections, and remedial works for the trust’s self‑delivered new‑build projects. The focus is on ensuring that the external cladding and wall assemblies meet all fire safety requirements, thereby protecting the approximately 250,000 residents within the trust's portfolio of more than 95,000 homes. By establishing a dynamic purchasing system, the trust aims to create an open framework where admitted suppliers can register and offer their specialized fire‑inspections and remediations services throughout the validity period, allowing for flexible, efficient, and continuous assessment of the trust’s new‑build developments.

The procurement is governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, specifically Regulation 34, which requires suppliers to meet pre‑qualification criteria and be registered on the dynamic purchasing system for at least one product category. Services must include comprehensive external wall inspections, identification of fire‑risk elements, and delivery of appropriate remedial measures in compliance with statutory fire safety standards. All services must conform to the standards set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 regarding fire safety for external walls.
