Summary of the contracting process

The DPS has been extended, with its current expiry slated for 23rd February 2029. CHIC remains a central purchasing body, inviting participation from all UK public-sector bodies. Key dates include the amendment notice issued on the 23rd February 2026, with deadlines extended to 23rd February 2029 for receipt of tenders or requests to participate.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for providers of grounds maintenance services. Businesses specialising in environmental services, landscaping, and property management will find the DPS platform accessible, offering an estimated contract value of £20,000,000, although this value is not guaranteed. CHIC reserves the right to review the DPS at 12-month intervals with potential modifications. Eligible contractors include Registered Providers of Social Housing, Local Authorities, and other contracting entities across the UK. This tender provides a valuable avenue for businesses looking to expand their footprint within the public sector, leveraging the DPS to engage with a broad spectrum of contracting authorities throughout the nation.
