## Summary

The Cambridge City Council is currently in the tender stage of an open procurement process for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for construction work, valued at £10 million. This initiative aims to establish a roster of suppliers capable of delivering quick and cost-effective services. The procurement is set within the construction industry and encompasses various lots, emphasising the need for suppliers to maintain key work without subcontracting unless approved. Interested parties should note that the tender period ends on 27th December 2017, and a supplier event is scheduled for 28th November 2017 at the Council Chamber in Cambridge.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction firms, especially those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking to establish a foothold in public works. Companies experienced in responsive construction services will find this an attractive opportunity, as participation can enhance their profile and lead to ongoing contracts with the Council. The competitive nature of the DPS allows for multiple lots, enabling firms with various specialisations within construction to compete effectively, thus fostering growth and expansion within the sector.

## Notice

The Council owns or works on an extensive portfolio of public & operational buildings, as well as housing which needs to be maintained. Although the Council has an in-house team of construction operatives, there are times where we need to supplement this. The Council is seeking to establish a DPS (modern day approved list) of suppliers who are able to respond quickly and deliver an excellent, cost effective service. The DPS is split into a number of Lots. This contract does NOT permit subcontracting of the key element e.g. Lot one suppliers cannot subcontract of the key element of the lot - e.g. electrical work. Any subcontracting that is required must be with written approval. Cambridge City Council will be holding a supplier event on 28th November 13:30-16:30 in the Council Chamber (Guildhall 1st floor), which will assist suppliers with understanding the Council's requirements, using the Due North e-tendering system, completing the new Standard Selection Questionnaire, navigating the online messaging section and participating in mini-competitions on the new e-tendering portal. All suppliers are invited to attend.
