Dynamic Purchasing - Construction, Civil Engineering and associated works REVISED

Orkney Islands Council · Scotland · up to £47,000,000

What the buyer wants

Orkney Islands Council is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for construction, civil engineering, and associated works up to £2,000,000 per contract, covering a wide range of building, maintenance, and specialist services over a 60-month period.

Orkney Islands Council is extending its existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for all construction, Civil Engineering and associated works for a 60 month period.

This will replace the existing Approved Contractors List. Works up to 2,000,000 GBP including reactive and planned maintenance, improvements, re-developments, testing, servicing and associated works will be covered by this DPS.

Works will be procured from a range methods, from dayworks to quick quotes for works up to 50,000 GBP and open procurement for works between 50,000 GBP and 2,000,000 GBP or where there is limited competition.

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.

The notice reads as suitable for a small or medium-sized firm: the scope, value and requirements are within reach of a business of that size.
