In plain English

The UK government is setting up a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) for facilities management and workplace services across public sector organisations. This is an open framework where government bodies can buy cleaning, maintenance, catering, security, landscaping, waste management and related services without running a separate tender each time.

What the buyer wants

• Provide one or more of 13 categories of FM services: catering, cleaning, landscaping, maintenance, security, waste, helpdesk, visitor support, compliance, smart FM solutions, and specialist services • Be able to respond quickly when public sector organisations call off your services from the DPS • Meet all relevant safety, compliance and quality standards for public sector workplace services

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The estimated value of £750 million and the requirement to serve nationwide government demand means only established businesses with significant turnover, team size and proven public sector experience will be competitive. Solo traders and micro-businesses will struggle to meet insurance, capacity and quality 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.
