## Summary

The Central Housing Investment Consortium Limited (CHIC), based in Birmingham, United Kingdom, has announced the termination of its Merchant Services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for construction materials, effective on 25th February 2026. Despite its closure, contracts awarded prior to this date will continue until their expiration. The system was primarily used for procuring goods related to construction structures and materials, covering diverse categories ranging from plumbing and electrical goods to roofing and timber supplies. This procurement process, governed by the Procurement Act 2023, was conducted under a competitive tender procedure, leveraging a dynamic purchasing system to foster open participation.

This DPS presented significant business opportunities by offering contracts valued up to £1,550,000,000 across several categories, making it suitable for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) seeking growth in the construction supply sector. Businesses specialising in the supply of construction materials, electrical goods, plumbing supplies, and more could benefit from participating, enhancing their market presence within the UK public sector. Moreover, with no limit on the number of applicants per category, industry players had the chance to diversify and expand their clientele, including housing associations, local authorities, and various public sector entities.
