DPS
Dynamic Procurement System
for construction, repair, maintenance and improvement
works, supplies and services
and all associated works, supplies and services
This Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is for contracting authorities throughout the UK as a procurement route to deliver single or multi-site projects, programmes or term contract in relation to both planned and responsive minor works in the construction, repair, maintenance and improvement of both housing and non-housing.
Key features:
Compliant - tendered and managed in accordance with PCR 2015
Comprehensive - covers all planned and responsive works
1% levy - no other hidden charges, eg. no access fees, no annual fees, no project registration fees
'Anywhere' - for use by any contracting authority, anywhere in the UK
'Anything' – housing or non-housing, single or multi-site projects, programmes and term contracts
Simple process - from tender to project registration to delivery
Project assignment: the 'dynamic consortia' model
This DPS can also be used in tandem with B2G frameworks. If a significant part of a project may be sub-contracted, the framework supplier may assign it in whole or part to their approved/specialist contractor registered on the DPS, who then contracts with the client under the DPS and delivers the project.
It's been specially designed to work in conjunction with our flat roofing full systems framework where the supplier's system is installed by their approved contractor, who manages all on-site operations and is thus better suited to contract directly with the client, but the system supplier remains closely involved throughout, from pre-installation design to post-project warranty.
Historically suppliers and contractors would have to form a consortium in advance of a framework bid, which is not only cumbersome and time consuming to assemble in advance of any project being awarded, but also limits the potential for clients to select the most suitable contractor when each project arises.
Our approach, where consortia develop dynamically, as and when approved contractors are vetted and join the DPS, assures optimum efficiency and compliance from procurement through delivery, and enables clients to bind both system supplier and contractor in the delivery of the project.
If you want your budget spent on property, not procurement, B2G offers compliant, cost effective procurement routes.

Social Value
community benefit comes as standard
As a requirement for being appointed to the framework every bidder confirmed their willingness to deliver all the measures set out in the Considerate Constructors Scheme's Social Value Checklist which, depending on the size and nature of the Project and the needs of the local community, might include:
Local employment
Full & part time; apprenticeships; work experience
Supply chain
Local sub-contractors, suppliers, social enterprises, NGOs & charities
Supplies & equipment
Locally manufactured; reused or recycled; or sustainably sourced
Community engagement

Selection
proven capability, nationwide
This DPS is a single lot covering all parts of the UK.
Within this, suppliers can restrict their area of focus, and buyers can use those suppliers' preferences to restrict invitations. The criteria to determine capability may include, but not be limited to, technical performance, past performance, ability to deliver the project within the required timescale due to workload, geographic capability and or financial standing at the time of the project, or supplier preferences recorded and maintained by B2G with regards to project value and or location and or work type and or third party accreditations held by the Supplier.
The principle options are as follows:
Work type:
Naturally, suppliers select the specialism for which they wish to be considered (and have provided referencs and certification etc) as follow:
Flat Roofing
Pitched Roofing
Insulation & Energy Efficiency
Windows & Doors
Kitchens & Bathrooms
Heating
Electrical
Painting & Decorating
Disability Adaptations
Scaffolding
Groundworks
Landscaping
Demolition
Security
Cleaning
Waste Collection & Disposal
Active regions:
Suppliers select the region/s in which they should be considered 'active', and may update their preferences at any time. To minimise carbon footprints and optimise procurement efficiency, Buyers may restrict invitations to Suppliers who are 'active' in region/s where services will be delivered, and Suppliers may decline Buyer invitations to deliver services in regions where the Supplier is not 'active'. Notwithstanding the above, Buyers retain the right to invite and contract with any Supplier to deliver services anywhere in the 'lot' (ie. the UK), and Suppliers retain the right to deliver services for any Buyer anywhere in the 'lot' (ie. the UK).

Evaluation
Above all we aim to assure proven competence. Each section of the bid document is scored separately:
Standard Questions
This section is pass/fail. Standard Questions were based on PAS91 & ESPD format, covering company and financial standing.Social Value
All bidders confirm they will support social value measures clients may request, across four categories (in accordance with the Social Value Checklist developed by the Considerate Constructors Scheme) covering local employment, supply chain, supplies and equipment, and community engagement.Quality
We focus on competency and proven capability, with a focus on third party certification and case studies, and in the case of the latter we pro-actively seek client confirmation that projects were or are being delivered to the client's satisfaction.Price
This being a DPS, we do not collect or evaluate pricing at the registration stage. However our philosophy tallies with the government’s Should Cost Modelling, with its focus on achieving competitive sustainable pricing rather than a race to the bottom.
