The University of Sheffield seeks to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Energy Procurement Services. This DPS will facilitate the procurement of various energy contracts, available to all contracting authorities in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

The scope of the DPS encompasses both fixed price and flexible energy contract offerings. Fixed price contracts will be offered for Gas, HH (Half Hourly) Electricity, and NHH (Non Half Hourly) Electricity. Flexible offerings will include Strategic Risk Managed solutions for Gas, HH Electricity, and NHH Electricity, enabling clients to purchase energy through the wholesale market with risk management strategies implemented by suppliers.

Suppliers participating in this DPS are expected to demonstrate expertise in managing energy price volatility, particularly for flexible contract offerings. While specific technical standards are not explicitly mentioned, adherence to standard industry practices for pricing and contract terms is implied for fixed price contracts.

Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking a single contractor to deliver comprehensive Highway and Footway Maintenance HM1 carriageway resurfacing across the borough for an initial five‑year period, with the possibility of three one‑year extensions contingent on satisfactory performance reviews. The contract will encompass a wide range of works at separate sites, including desktop and on‑site planning, design, and execution of carriageway resurfacing, patching, and general repair and refurbishment of footways and carriageways. The contractor will also be responsible for utility chamber cover and frame adjustments, reinstatement of road markings and studs, drainage improvements such as gutter and pipe replacement, and any necessary confined‑space entry and utility search operations as required.

Key performance expectations will be monitored through a set of agreed KPIs, and the contractor must maintain compliance with Traffic Management Act notification requirements while implementing and monitoring all traffic management measures. The scope extends to the design of proprietary materials, products, or methodologies to meet site‑specific needs, as well as proactive public information and stakeholder engagement activities, including leafleting and press releases coordinated with the Service Manager. Furthermore, detailed site investigations—encompassing CCTV inspections, road coring, and drainage assessments—will be integral to ensuring effective delivery and long‑term durability of the resurfacing works.

The successful bid must therefore incorporate advanced cold‑planning techniques, reusing and recycling of resurfacing arisings, and must ensure full compliance with all relevant traffic and environmental regulations.

The contract is for a comprehensive design‑and‑build programme to replace and upgrade the closed‑circuit television (CCTV) system at Broad Green Station. Work will be carried out in a phased approach that combines temporary and permanent camera deployments to secure immediate safety improvements while limiting unnecessary expenditure. Temporary units will cover high‑risk areas such as hoardings until site plans for the station’s configuration are finalised, while permanent cameras will be positioned in confirmed locations. The installation will also include two new CCTV columns and two external communications cabinets, and, during the transition, the existing Marlowe camera system will remain operational to preserve full surveillance coverage until the new system is fully integrated.

The work is to be supplied under a JCT Design and Build 2024 contract with Northern Trains Limited standard amendments, and the resulting contract may be novated or assigned to other train operating companies or DFT Operator Limited in the event of a corporate restructuring. All equipment and installation must be compliant with the completed ES5 designs, IDC/IDR sign‑off, AFC drawings, and a full bill of materials.

The Surrey County Council has opened a domestic retrofit framework aimed at upgrading residential properties in East and West Surrey for occupants who are at risk of high energy costs and poor health outcomes. The framework is designed to enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and lower utility bills by installing measures that increase resilience to climate change and support the Net Zero transition.

The contract is divided into six distinct lots that cover both professional and implementation activities. Lot 1 and 1b provide assessment, coordination and project management services for retrofit work, while lots 2a and 2b cover the installation of solar photovoltaic, solar thermal and battery storage systems. In addition, lots 3a and 3b supply the supply and installation of insulation, ventilation, windows and doors across a range of housing types, and lots 4a and 4b deliver low‑carbon heating solutions such as heat pumps, electric storage heaters and biomass boilers. Finally, lots 5a and 5b offer flood resilience assessments and lots 6a and 6b provide installation of flood mitigation measures.

All work must conform to the specified UK building regulations and be carried out in accordance with Net Zero and related environmental standards.
