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, annual fees or 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.

This approach, where consortia can develop dynamically, and approved contractors can be vetted and added via the DPS at any time, enables both clients and suppliers to optimise both efficiency and compliance in both procurement and delivery of a project.

If you want your budget spent on property, not procurement, B2G offers compliant, cost effective procurement routes.

community benefit comes as standard

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)

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).

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.

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.
