Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham intends to establish a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) for responsive housing repairs and maintenance, together with associated housing works and services. The scope is classified as construction work and will support the delivery of repairs and maintenance to the council’s housing stock in Lewisham. Contractors appointed to the DPS are expected to compete for individual contracts through mini-competitions. The arrangement is intended for suppliers that can deliver practical building, repair and maintenance services, rather than the supply of standalone goods or professional advisory services. It may suit construction and property maintenance businesses with the operational capability to work across council housing requirements and respond to separate competitions as they arise.

This is a planned procurement: the council has stated its intention to procure but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use a selective competitive flexible procedure to establish one DPS lot, with subsequent contracts awarded through mini-competition. The council expects the next notice to be published on 1 September 2026. The planned contract period is 4 December 2026 to 7 December 2029, with a possible extension taking the maximum end date to 5 December 2031. The estimated gross value is £16.5 million, including VAT, in total for the procurement. The arrangement is above the applicable threshold. The contract is described as renewable, and successful DPS contractors will compete for individual responsive repairs, maintenance and associated housing works contracts.

This process is likely to suit established construction contractors, housing maintenance providers and building services firms with experience delivering responsive repairs and planned or associated maintenance works. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the practical resources needed to attend, diagnose and complete varied housing repair requirements, and to manage work delivered through separate mini-competitions. Businesses with field-based teams, suitable trades coverage, scheduling and customer-service arrangements may be well placed when contracts are competed. The DPS structure can provide a route for contractors to pursue multiple council housing work packages over its operating period, but suppliers will need to assess each mini-competition and meet its individual requirements before bidding.
