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:


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

Educational (eg. engaging with local schools & colleges etc); social (eg. engaging with local clubs & charities etc); or environmental (eg. litter patrol & work parties etc)

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).

Contract value:


Suppliers select the maximum and minimum contract value they would wish to bid for (the 'ceiling' and 'floor') and may update their preferences at any time. To optimise procurement efficiency for all parties, Buyers may restrict invitations to Suppliers whose preferences match the anticipated value of the call off project.


Project assignment:


If a Project is awarded under a B2G framework and a significant part of the Project is to be sub-contracted to a specialist/contractor/installer who is on a pre-approved list of the framework supplier, and who is also registered on this DPS, then to optimise efficiency in both procurement and delivery of the Project, the B2G framework supplier may assign the Project or part thereof and the Buyer may contract directly with the assignee Supplier to deliver those works, supplies and or services under the auspices of the framework supplier and compliant with the specification, standards and regulations set out in the framework documents.

Call Off Process

Buyers can award a contract to any supplier confident they will deliver to a quality that meets or exceeds all regulations and standards, and in full support of the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012.
