Minor Works Dynamic Purchasing System
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 schools’ refurbishment or construction works.
Benefits
- There are multiple contractors in each category to encourage competition enabling you to demonstrate value for money
- 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
- 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
- All procurement processes are fully auditable as further competitions will be done using the Sourcing Cloud tendering platforms
