In plain English
Dorset Council and five other local authorities are extending their existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for road surface treatments until September 2028. They want suppliers who can deliver various road repair and maintenance services like surface dressing, pothole patching, and asphalt preservation across the south-west region.
What the buyer wants
• Premium surface dressing, micro asphalting, and footway surface treatments • Carriageway retexturing, joint sealing, and asphalt preservation • In-situ road recycling and spray injection patching • Any similar road surface treatment works or services
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This DPS is only open to organisations already on the scheme or new applicants meeting strict highways contractor standards. Most small one-person or tiny team tradespeople will not meet the technical competency, insurance, equipment, and safety requirements demanded by local authorities for large-scale road treatment contracts worth £12 million total.
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.
