Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has introduced a Civil Engineering Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for overseeing projects with a budget of up to 5 million GBP. This initiative falls within the construction industry category and encompasses a range of civil engineering works. Key deadlines include the end of the tender period on 4th October 2030, with the invitation to bid starting on the same date. The procurement stage is currently active, illustrating the ongoing readiness for contractors to submit their bids. This procurement is to be carried out electronically through the Scottish Government's PCS-Tender system. The project aims to benefit various public bodies across Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands.

This DPS presents a substantial opportunity for businesses within the civil engineering sector to expand their operations. Given the broad scope of the work, which includes general civil engineering, roads, structures, geotechnical services, utilities, and marine projects, firms with relevant expertise can find multiple avenues for growth. Companies specialising in earthworks, site clearance, road maintenance, bridge construction, and utility installations are particularly well-suited to compete. By participating in this dynamic system, businesses can engage in a well-structured and transparent procurement process, which is key to securing new contracts and fostering long-term partnerships within the Scottish public sector.
