The contracting authorities, Worcestershire County Council and the NHS Worcestershire and Herefordshire Integrated Care Board, are establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) supported‑living services across Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The DPS invites suitably experienced, qualified and appropriately accredited suppliers to pre‑qualify for a service contract that will provide tailored, behaviour‑positive care and support for individuals requiring residential support in the two counties.

The procurement is organised as a three‑stage process. In Stage 1 suppliers complete a Supplier Self‑Qualification (SSQ) questionnaire to demonstrate that they meet the required selection criteria and minimum standards. Successful applicants then move to Stage 2, where a concurrent evaluation of the SSQ responses and further documentation determines eligibility to be placed on the DPS. Suppliers who pass Stages 1 and 2 are admitted to the DPS and will subsequently be invited to compete in Mini Competitions for scheme or cluster placements or in Referrals for individual placements. Because the DPS operates under a Light‑Touch Regime—a modified restricted procedure governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015—only suppliers who satisfy the selection requirements are eligible for evaluation or subsequent opportunities.

All suppliers must satisfy the selection criteria and minimum standards outlined in the SSQ Questionnaire and comply with the Light‑Touch Regime under Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

The expertise sought within this tender is the provision of comprehensive passenger transport services for Essex County Council and Thurrock Council. The Dynamic Purchasing System is organised into five distinct categories: transport for passengers with SEND requirements to educational or care facilities, transport for mainstream primary, secondary and further education destinations, services for adults with eligible needs to day‑care or educational sites, local bus and demand‑responsive transport across Essex, and ad‑hoc conveyance for unexpected needs in adult, SEND, mainstream or children’s social care contexts. Each category is delivered under a single long‑term framework that may be refreshed by call‑off orders, with a core term of five years and the possibility of a 24‑month extension granted in separate periods.

The contracting authority, operating through its procurement team, maintains a centralised purchasing hub to manage the entire system, ensuring consistency across both councils. Although the financial aspects of the procurement are substantial, the contract specifications focus on service quality, compliance with statutory duties, and a continuous improvement mandate that aligns with regional development strategies such as Everyone’s Essex. Suppliers are required to submit their participation through the provided electronic portal, and the process follows a restricted procedure under the Government Procurement Agreement, with a deadline for offers set for early 2029.

All potential contractors must deliver transport solutions that meet the statutory safety and accessibility standards for each passenger group, support demand‑responsive and fixed‑route operations, and accommodate any ad‑hoc requests for service. All services must comply with statutory transport safety regulations and provide accessibility for all passengers.

London and Quadrant Housing Trust, together with its subsidiary Quadrant Construction Services, is inviting statements of interest from distributors and suppliers for the supply of internal doors required for its Self‑Delivered New Build Projects. The procurement seeks a variety of internal door products that will be installed across new housing developments primarily located in London and the South East of England, with the goal of complying with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The tender process is designed to establish a Framework Agreement that will enable the Trust to acquire the needed doors efficiently throughout the life of the system, while allowing suppliers to enter the dynamic purchasing scheme by meeting the set admission criteria.

The successful suppliers will be admitted to a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) on a continuous basis. Admittance requires completion of a pre‑qualification questionnaire, demonstration of consistent performance on key performance indicators, and maintenance of acceptable financial and credit thresholds. Once admitted, suppliers may submit products for evaluation at any time during the DPS validity period, and the system may update eligibility or remove suppliers based on performance, competitiveness, or financial changes. All admitted suppliers must comply with the DPS admission criteria, including quality performance metrics and financial stability thresholds.

The tender seeks to create an open provider list for Break Time, Home Care and Short Breaks Services for children and young people with disabilities across Lancashire. The Authority intends to secure a range of providers capable of delivering group‑based leisure and therapeutic activities for children with an unassessed or assessed need, as well as dedicated day‑time personal care, overnight respite and intensive positive behaviour support. The services are designed to give primary carers regular and restorative breaks, enabling them to continue or improve their care for their child, thereby supporting statutory duties to provide a full spectrum of short‑break options for SEND users.

The provider list will be divided into six distinct lots: (1) Break Time and Break Time Plus activities; (2) Day‑time short breaks and personal care; (3) 1:1 or 2:1 community‑based support; (4) Day‑time personal care in the home; (5) Overnight short‑breaks available throughout the year; and (6) Intensive positive behaviour support for children with complex needs. Each lot will be commissioned through a call‑off process and may be awarded on an annual block‑booking basis or requested when assessed need arises. Providers must meet the Service Specifications outlined in the Provider List Agreement and comply with the relevant health and safety regulations.

The tender invites organisations to supply a 60‑month service and maintenance programme for ground source and air source heat pumps in domestic and commercial settings. The programme will be accessible to all current and future Clients of Procurement Assist, including NHS trusts, social housing providers, local authorities, blue‑light services, educational institutions and charities. Clients may tailor the service package by selecting one or more of three defined categories: air‑source only, ground‑source only or a combined ground‑and‑air service.

Under each category the provider is required to deliver a broad range of activities, including routine servicing, general maintenance and remedial repairs, as well as any additional support needed to keep the heat pump systems operating at peak efficiency. The procurement seeks qualified professionals who can work across diverse property types and adapt to the specific demands of each client’s heating infrastructure. The programme will be reviewed annually and may be extended or amended to meet evolving requirements.

Providers must be qualified under the relevant industry standards for servicing air and ground source heat pumps.

The Department of Justice, through its Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) Acquisition and Property Management Division, is soliciting quotations for investigative services under a combined synopsis/solicitation (RFQ). The work sought comprises field investigative and background check services, as defined under NAICS 561611, and is classified as a commercial service under the Product Service Code R799-SUPPORT-MANAGEMENT: OTHER.

Participants will supply a full range of goods across four distinct categories.

The contract is renewable and subject to yearly review, with no option or variant structure allowed.

All supplied goods must meet applicable UK health and safety regulations and be deliverable to multiple sites in accordance with iFM Bolton’s logistical requirements.
