Summary of the contracting process

The Communities & Housing Investment Consortium Ltd (CHIC), based in Birmingham, UK, is managing the CHIC Wales Optimised Retrofit Materials Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), extending the procurement for construction materials and associated items. The tender process, initiated under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, adheres to the transitional regulations under the Procurement Act 2023. The DPS is a selective procedure with an impressive estimated contract value of £1.5 billion, due to end on 23rd February 2029. This initiative is meant to supply construction materials across Wales, focusing on goods that improve energy efficiency and building safety. Participants can be assured that the process will allow membership access for UK public sector bodies, including local authorities and social housing providers.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for suppliers of construction materials and associated services, particularly those involved with energy efficiency measures and building safety enhancements. The framework is segmented into various lots covering building materials, electrical services, and full-service solutions, amongst others, offering a significant scope for industry engagement. Ideal bidders could include SMEs or larger enterprises specialising in retrofit technologies, renewable energy solutions, fire safety systems, and sustainable construction materials. By engaging in this DPS, businesses have the opportunity to secure contracts and participate in developing energy-efficient and safe housing solutions across Wales, potentially driving considerable business growth and providing long-term engagement in public procurement projects.
