## Summary

The Communities and Housing Investment Consortium Limited (CHIC), located in Birmingham, United Kingdom, has been overseeing the procurement process titled "CHIC Optimised Retrofit Materials DPS 2022". This process falls under the construction materials industry category, focusing on goods provision for Domestic Energy Efficiency Retrofit and Building Safety Installation Services. The procurement method executed is a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) aimed at creating a new solution for construction materials supply. The initial tender was active from 24th March 2022, with its termination recently announced on 25th February 2026. Key dates include the original contractual deadline set for 26th April 2022, which was later extended to 27th October 2028. This procurement process is governed by various legal frameworks including the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and subsequent amendments under the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender represents remarkable opportunities for businesses in the construction materials supply and distribution sector, especially those capable of contributing to energy efficiency and building safety solutions. The estimated value of contracts awarded through this DPS is around £6 billion, providing substantial growth opportunities for bidders. The DPS offers participation options to housing associations, local authorities, registered providers of social housing, and related sectors across the UK. Businesses that specialise in construction materials, electrical technology, renewable energy, and mechanical systems are particularly well-suited to compete. The procurement process, being selective and under a restricted procedure, encourages organisations to leverage innovative solutions and enter into sustainable partnerships that align with the zero-energy goals.

## Notice

Communities & Housing Investment Consortium (CHIC), is seeking to develop a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) of Bidders for the provision of construction materials supply and distribution pertaining to Domestic Energy Efficiency Retrofit and Building Safety Installation Services, who are able to work in partnership with CHIC and its members across the UK. The Optimised Retrofit project will see homes across the UK made more energy-efficient and safe. The process will develop a solution in the provision of materials supply that does not presently exist in the market and provide an effective route to market for supporting pipeline projects from Housing Providers and develop a robust materials supply chain to deliver net zero energy (NZE) and Building Safety solutions.

### Lot Information
