In plain English
CHIC (Communities and Housing Investment Consortium) is updating their Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for telecoms services. This is a pre-approved supplier list that housing associations and public sector organisations can use to buy telecom services over a 5-year period, with an estimated total spend of around £40 million across all buyers.
What the buyer wants
• Provide telecommunications services (voice, data, broadband, or related comms) to multiple public sector and housing association customers • Meet CHIC's supplier terms and be added to their approved DPS supplier list • Be available to respond to individual orders from any member organisation within the consortium
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is not a single contract but an open supplier list for telecoms companies. Most small trades (builders, cleaners, electricians) will not qualify unless they offer telecom services as a core business. The original DPS was published in 2017, so this is an amendment notice and you likely cannot apply unless you were already on the original framework or a new call-off opens.
How to bid
This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
