Competition

Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 6 awards in the last 12 months).

Dynamic purchasing system

Suppliers join a list the buyer can call on. You can usually apply at any time while it is open, and work is awarded later through smaller competitions between members.

What the notice says

The Trust is closing down the Estates and Facilities DPS with immediate effect. No further contracts will be awarded via the DPS and no more applications will be accepted. Contracts already in place before today's date will continue until their conclusion.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
