Procure Plus, a non-profit housing procurement specialist, is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) — essentially a pre-approved supplier list — for commercial building retrofit work (energy efficiency, repairs, upgrades). Public sector organisations across the UK can then call off from this list when they need retrofit consultancy or actual construction work done.
Requirements
- Must be able to provide commercial (non-domestic) retrofit consultancy services
- Must be able to deliver retrofit construction works
- Must be willing to work within a Dynamic Purchasing System framework (meaning you'll be pre-approved but won't get guaranteed work)
- Likely need appropriate insurance (professional indemnity for consultancy; contractors' all risks for works)
- No specific certifications mentioned in this notice — check full tender documents for standards like ISO 9001, environmental credentials, or retrofit-specific qualifications
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Provide retrofit consultancy services (design, planning, energy audits, specification of improvements)
- Deliver retrofit construction works on commercial buildings (likely energy efficiency upgrades, heating systems, insulation, lighting, ventilation improvements)
- Respond to call-offs from public sector clients through the DPS framework
- Meet delivery timescales set by individual public sector organisations placing orders
How to Read This Tender
- 1A DPS is NOT a contract — it's a pre-qualification system. You're bidding to join a supplier list; you don't know which projects you'll win or when. Budget accordingly (application costs, admin overhead) without assuming guaranteed turnover.
- 2Watch for 'call-off' language in the full documents — this means public sector bodies will issue mini-tenders or direct orders against the DPS. Read how they'll select suppliers (lowest price, quality scoring, etc.).
- 3Check whether Procure Plus or the end-user public sector organisations set the terms and conditions. Often the DPS owner sets framework rules, but individual clients may negotiate.
- 4Look for the 'standstill period' — after award decisions, there's usually a 10-calendar-day wait before contracts are signed. Budget time for this.
- 5Clarify what 'commercial retrofit' covers in their definition. Does it include industrial buildings, retail, offices, or just specific sectors? This affects your capability requirements.
Tips for Small Businesses
- Consider partnering with a larger retrofit contractor or consultancy as a subcontractor. You might bid together — the lead handles the DPS admin, you deliver specific elements (e.g. energy audits, project management, or specialist trades). Lower risk than bidding as lead.
- DPS frameworks often value 'social value' points for local employment, apprenticeships, or environmental commitments. If you employ locally or offer training, highlight it in your application.
- Join as a consultancy-only supplier if you can't deliver full works. Public sector bodies can chain multiple DPS suppliers, so a pure advisory role (energy surveys, retrofit design) is viable and less capital-intensive than hiring a full construction team.
