## Summary

The Communities and Housing Investment Consortium Limited (CHIC) has announced an update to its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Fire Protection and Sprinkler Systems. The project, classified under CPV code 51700000 for installation services of fire protection equipment, spans across the United Kingdom and involves several types of public sector organisations including Housing Associations, Local Authorities, NHS groups, and more. The DPS, initially established in 2015, will now come to an end by 27th October 2028 as per the recent amendment. This system allows CHIC members, both current and future, to engage in various contracts with an estimated total value of £250,000,000 excluding VAT. The DPS operates under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and will be reviewed every 12 months, potentially leading to its extension, shortening, or termination.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses across the fire protection and sprinkler systems services industry. Companies specialising in fire risk assessments, precaution works, design, and installation of fire protection systems can benefit greatly from participating in this DPS. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to join, as the Consortium has indicated suitability for such economic operators. The procurement method is selective, allowing only qualified suppliers to enter, which offers a structured and fair chance for businesses to secure lucrative contracts and enhance their market presence. The dynamic nature of this system means that new opportunities continually arise, providing a sustained growth platform for the involved businesses.
