Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is managing a procurement process for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) dedicated to Estates and Facilities Services. This process is classified under building and facilities management services and employs a selective procurement method known as a restricted procedure. The tender is currently in the planning and tender stage, having been updated on 5th October 2023. The DPS is spread across 9 lots, each with different focuses such as electrical contractors, mechanical contractors, building contractors, and more. The tender period for applications closes on 6th November 2023, with awards anticipated to begin from 13th November 2023. The procurement process calls for electronic submission and written methods, and it focuses on services in Somerset, UK, under the region UKK2. The contracts are notable for their substantial contract period of up to 3600 days and a total budget of £1,000,000 GBP.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses in the building and maintenance industry to grow, especially those specialising in specific areas such as electrical, mechanical, flooring, and design services. Companies can apply to multiple lots, increasing their potential for market expansion. The DPS model allows for ongoing opportunities as it facilitates quicker procurement processes for services, which is ideal for companies adept at providing responsive and quality service within the health sector. Businesses with the capacity to meet the specified technical and economic selection criteria would be well-suited to compete, particularly those able to accommodate electronic ordering and invoicing as indicated in the contract terms. This procurement process is an advantageous pathway for businesses to secure long-term engagement with NHS trust facilities, thereby contributing to stable business growth.
