In plain English
HEART Academies Trust (a group of 4 schools in Bedford) is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), a pre-approved list of suppliers, to buy commonly used goods and services. They want suppliers who can help them achieve sustainability and social impact across a wide range of categories.
What the buyer wants
• Register with the DPS by selecting which service categories you can supply (from a standard list) • Specify which UK regions you can operate in • Be prepared to compete in future tenders when HEART invites suppliers from the DPS to bid • Demonstrate commitment to sustainable and socially responsible procurement practices
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The estimated contract value is exceptionally broad (£1-£500bn), which suggests this is genuinely open to all sizes, but most small businesses will struggle if they cannot demonstrate sustainable practices, relevant insurance, and the ability to work within education sector compliance requirements.
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.
