What the buyer wants
Dynamic Purchasing System for various building consultancy services including architectural, engineering, surveying, and specialist consultancy services across multiple lots with specific professional membership requirements.
As the Dynamic Purchasing System list of consultants has now been created after the completion of the initial stage, new bidders will be able to submit SPD (Scotland) responses on an ongoing basis, as the List of Consultants remains open throughout the duration of the DPS’s existence.
How Tenderoo reads it
This is a dynamic purchasing system (a dynamic market under the Procurement Act): suppliers can apply to join at any point while it runs, and work is awarded in rounds to the members. A missed deadline is not the end of it.
