Notice Title

DPS 4 - Supply of community equipment for small moving & handling equipment

Notice Description

Croydon Council is seeking to engage suppliers of community equipment to the Integrated Procurement Hub (IPH) hosted by Croydon Council. The IPH is a shared service arrangement, whereby a number of local authorities have pooled their procurement of community equipment in to a single shared arrangement whereby Croydon Council acts as lead contracting authority procuring the Goods for and on behalf of itself and its Local Authority partners. This pooled requirement includes the community equipment that the Council and its local authority partners require as a result of performing health functions delegated to them by NHS bodies as part of their integrated commissioning arrangements. This tender process is being carried out in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 34 of the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015 relating to the procurement of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the purchase of the Goods. The DPS is open to Admitted Suppliers throughout the period of validity. "Admitted Supplier" means a supplier who has met the DPS admission criteria set out in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and has been registered on the DPS for one or more product categories. Suppliers and products may be submitted for evaluation and potentially, admission to the DPS at any time throughout the period of validity. Suppliers who have been unsuccessful in meeting the criteria to become an "Admitted Supplier" may re-submit another, revised PQQ at any time beyond the initial mini competition. The DPS will remain open and valid from the start date of 28th October 2016 for a period of seven years, with the ability to extend the operation of the DPS for a further three years, to 31st November 2026.
