How to Read This Tender
- 1Understand what a Dynamic Purchasing System is: it's not a single contract but a pre-qualification process. If approved, you'll be on a list and invited to bid on individual projects ('call-offs') as they arise over several years.
- 2Focus on the disciplines listed — you don't need to offer all of them, just the ones you're good at. Be realistic about what you can genuinely deliver.
- 3The £1-2M value mentioned is per individual project, not the total framework value. This tells you the scale of work you'll be handling, so check you can resource projects of this size.
- 4Look carefully in the full tender documents for: professional qualifications required (RIBA, RICS, ICE etc), insurance minimums, staff requirements, track record expectations, and how call-offs will be selected (is it price only, or quality-based too?).
- 5Dynamic Purchasing Systems have ongoing recruitment — you may be able to apply after the initial deadline, so if you miss the first round, check if there's a 'rolling application' period.
Tips for Small Businesses
- Consider a consortium or partnership with other consultants if you don't cover all disciplines — universities often want to work with multi-disciplinary teams, and a consortium can be more competitive than going alone.
- Check the social value scoring criteria early (in the full documents) — universities are increasingly scoring on apprenticeships, local employment, and sustainability. Build these into your bid to improve your chances.
- If you're smaller, look for subcontracting opportunities with larger consultancies already on similar frameworks — many use preferred suppliers for specialist work, and this gets your foot in the door for future direct bids.
