Bordesley Green Girls School is seeking a catering provider to supply a comprehensive, daily food service across its main school kitchen and a dedicated satellite point for approximately 325 sixth‑form students. The contract will cover 190 school days each year, with an additional five inset days, and will commence on 1 April 2027. The successful supplier will deliver a menu that satisfies the school's defined HMC‑Halal oriented requirements, ensuring consistency with the dietary preferences of all pupils while incorporating seasonal and nutritional variety.

The operation will be supported by an existing NRS/Civica biometric cashless payment system, with four tills in the main dining area and two in the sixth‑form dining location, and will accept 100 % of transactions via ParentPay. Campaign and promotional activities will take advantage of ample plasma screens, and customer engagement will be a cornerstone of continuous improvement, requiring documented methodology and recent examples from similar contracts. The partnership will be on a guaranteed performance basis, with a clearly defined single 50‑minute lunch period daily, except Wednesdays, and a provision for optional off‑site lunch for sixth‑formers upon parental consent.

The Danish Energy Agency is inviting bids for the construction and operation of a new large‑scale offshore wind farm, North Sea I, South, which must deliver a minimum capacity of one gigawatt. The procurement is conducted as an open procedure under EU Directive 2014/24/EU, translated into Danish public procurement law, and will result in a single concession agreement for the project’s development at the sole risk and expense of the contract winner.

Under the concession agreement the successful bidder will acquire a right to use the designated concession area and will be required to establish the 1 GW capacity no later than 31 December 2034, with the possibility of extending the deadline in special circumstances. The concessionaire will also be economically supported by a 20‑year capability‑based two‑way contract‑for‑difference scheme that provides subsidies when the reference price exceeds the strike price and obliges payments otherwise, without any cap on payments. Connection of the wind farm to the Danish transmission grid is optional, and the concessionaire may build additional over‑planting capacity or use the generated electricity for innovative projects such as Power‑to‑X, provided all applicable legislation is met. Certain costs, including preventive measures to protect military communications and preliminary investigations, are borne by Danish Defence and the State, respectively, rather than the concessionaire.

The wind turbine installation must satisfy all Danish and EU standards applicable to offshore wind farms.

London and Quadrant Housing Trust (L&Q) is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for subcontractors specializing in groundwork, reinforced concrete framing, external works, and piling. This DPS will support L&Q's self-delivered new build projects across London and the South East of England. The DPS will be divided into Lots based on project value: up to £2 million and above £2 million.

The procurement process involves a two-stage approach. Initially, interested subcontractors must submit a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (SSQ) demonstrating their capabilities and experience in the specified areas. Successful submissions will grant access to the DPS. Subsequently, L&Q will conduct mini-competitions for individual projects, inviting only capable providers from the DPS. During these mini-competitions, shortlisted subcontractors will be required to submit detailed tenders based on the specific project scope.

The establishment of this DPS aims to provide L&Q with a pool of qualified and experienced subcontractors for their new build projects. It offers subcontractors the flexibility to opt-in for individual projects that align with their capabilities and capacity. The transparent mini-competition process ensures fair and objective selection based on project requirements.

The contracting entity seeks to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Plant Hire. This DPS will facilitate the ongoing procurement of plant equipment through individual contracts awarded as needs arise. The system is structured into three Lots: Lot 1, likely encompassing general plant hire; Lot 2, potentially focusing on more specialized plant hire; and Lot 3, which includes the option to utilize the Public Works Term Maintenance and Refurbishment Contract (TMRC) (PW-CF11), suggesting a potential focus on maintenance or refurbishment projects requiring plant equipment.

The contract award criteria for this DPS prioritize both Price and Quality. The weighting assigned to Price will range from 60% to 100%, while Quality will be evaluated with a weighting between 0% and 40%. This approach emphasizes the selection of suppliers who offer a balance of competitive pricing and high-quality service.

Lot 3 uniquely allows for the creation of a substitution list for Requests for Tender (RFTs). This provision enables the consideration of alternative suppliers should the initially selected supplier become unavailable, ensuring project continuity and flexibility within the DPS framework.

Orbit Group is procuring construction services across nine specific "Lots" covering a range of construction and asset upgrade works. These Lots include: Resurfacing (Repairs or Replacement), Structural (Subsidence) repairs, Drainage & Associated Works, External Fabric Wall & Coverings (Repair or Replacement), Fencing & Boundaries (Repair or Replacement), Flat or Pitched Roofing (Repairs or Replacement), Windows & Doors (Replacement) and Roofline (soffits/fascia/rainwater goods) works, Communal Floor Coverings (Repair or Replacement), and General Construction Works (Multi Discipline) for small to medium-sized projects.

The procurement process utilizes a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). Contractors who successfully pre-qualify will be added to an approved supplier list for specific Lots. Inclusion in the DPS does not guarantee work but allows suppliers to compete in mini-competitions for future projects within their chosen Lot(s). The estimated annual value across all Lots is £4 million, with a total estimated value of £20 million over the initial 5-year term.

The DPS is currently live and expected to remain open until June 2029. The geographic scope encompasses the Midlands, East Anglia, Southeast England, and London regions. Contractors can access the DPS documents through Procontract (reference DN724019). The application deadline for the first round of applications is June 24th, 2024.

The Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust (BWCET) seeks to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the procurement of commonly used goods and services across various sectors. The DPS aims to create an ethical and sustainable supply chain, emphasizing social value creation in alignment with UK public sector priorities.

Suppliers are invited to apply within specific service categories defined by CPV codes, indicating their geographical coverage based on NUTS codes. Additionally, suppliers can highlight any additional capabilities or specialized expertise beyond standard service offerings. The DPS has a projected value ranging from £0 to £500,000,000 and will utilize a restricted procedure for supplier selection.

This opportunity is particularly well-suited for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), offering access to a broad public sector customer base, the chance to showcase ethical and sustainable practices, and the potential for increased business growth and market share.

The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the procurement of Military Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). This DPS will facilitate the acquisition of UAS tailored for military applications, encompassing all essential components: unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), control stations, datalinks, payloads, and accessories.

The DPS is structured into two contract value categories: LOT-0001 for contracts exceeding approximately 410 thousand EUR and LOT-0002 for contracts below this threshold. Potential UAV types include fixed-wing, multi-copter, or hybrid configurations. The procurement may also encompass service agreements and a range of accessories such as sensors, computer equipment, software, antennas, ground control stations, wires and cables, batteries, chargers, tether solutions, and storage equipment.

The DPS allows for the option of additional deliveries based on evolving operational needs. This procurement is governed by the Defence and Security Directive (2009/81/EC) due to the military nature of the UAS. DALO and the Danish National Police reserve the right to restrict access to the DPS for third-country economic operators. Candidates or tenderers from countries on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes may be excluded unless there are overriding public interest reasons.
