Description

Are you are looking for a supplier to complete capital works on your institution's buildings or estate?

Our Minor Works Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is designed so that you can engage the services of qualified and experienced construction contractors. There are 29 different building works categories on the DPS with each lot giving access to a range of construction suppliers in each category.

You can procure a wide range of specialist trades all in one place for your college, university, academy or school's refurbishment or construction works.

Benefits
  1. There are multiple contractors in each category to encourage competition enabling you to demonstrate value for money
  2. The DPS will also save you time as CPC has already done the due diligence on the contractors, including:
    • Financial stability checks
    • Health and safety record and process checks
    • Environmental management checks
    • Quality management checks
  3. Your local contractor can apply to be on the DPS so you can get quotes from them and other contractors that have passed a vetting process
  4. All procurement processes are fully auditable as further competitions will be done using the Sourcing Cloud tendering platform
  5. Using this framework supports our Giving Back initiative. Our charity's focus is on SEND, wellbeing and absenteeism

How can contractors apply to be included on the Minor Works DPS?

The DPS is being managed through the MultiQuote platform (Project Ref: CA7638), interested parties will need to create an account for their organisation (if not already setup) and then navigate to the opportunity using the project reference via the “Opportunity Search” tool on the dashboard.

Once located, interested parties will then need to download and complete the “Minor Works DPS ITP” document. Once complete, all documentation should be uploaded and submitted to the portal. All applications to the DPS will be evaluated within 10 working days of receipt.

Bidders should take note of the checklist included within the ITP document and ensure all necessary documentation has been submitted with their application (failure to submit in accordance with the checklist may result in the application being rejected or delayed).
