Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency established the Construction Professional Services Dynamic Purchasing System for public-sector customers needing construction-related advice and technical services. Its scope spans project management, engineering, cost consultancy, design and architecture, alongside environmental and sustainability services. Suppliers can be grouped by their professional services, industry sector, geographical coverage and additional capabilities, allowing customers to shortlist providers for specific competitions. The process also supported Magnox Limited’s recurring civil-structures inspection requirement at Oldbury Technical Centre in Thornbury. Inspections produce structural condition reports and recommendations for remedial work, with findings recorded, interpreted and classified and databases updated. The wider system covers architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (CPV 71000000); the cited inspection work concerns Magnox’s North and East and South and West sites.

The procurement is at award stage. Mott MacDonald Ltd was selected for Magnox’s civil-structures inspection services for both North and East sites and South and West sites; the contracts were signed on 16 August 2023. A separate award to John Rowan and Partners is recorded against the system’s first lot, with an active contract signed on 2 September 2025, valued at £139,200. The overall DPS is a selective, restricted process with suppliers admitted to the system and customers selecting providers for later competitions. Its estimated value was increased to £800 million, and the optional extension takes the system end date to 23 February 2029. The inspection competition’s criteria weighted supplier management, people and resources most heavily, alongside delivery approach, staff recruitment and retention, service improvement, health and safety, social value and cost.

For future work of this kind, credible suppliers need to demonstrate civil and structural engineering expertise in periodic inspections of civil structures, including the ability to assess condition, recommend rectification and meet inspection and compliance requirements. They must be able to interpret and classify inspection results and maintain accurate asset databases. The evaluation also points to the importance of a dependable delivery model, with enough skilled staff and resources, effective recruitment, training and retention, and strong supplier management. Suppliers should be able to show a practical approach to health, safety, security, environment and quality, identify service improvements and deliver social value, while presenting competitive costs. The wider DPS also accommodates project management, engineering, cost consultancy, architectural and design, environmental and sustainability services. Cyber Essentials compliance is required for services under and connected with the procurement.
