The first stage of and the initial on-boarding of suppliers onto the DPS, will take place between 20 August 2020 to 30 September 2020. Applicants are required to complete the selection questionnaire (SQ) and submit this (with all supporting documents requested in the SQ) via the Delta portal. Applications will be evaluated accordingly and successful applicants will be appointed to the DPS as an appointed supply partner. There will be no limit to the number of applicants that will be admitted to the DPS against each region, sector and service category. New applicants can apply to join the DPS throughout the duration of the period via the SQ process.
Categories to be covered by the DPS are as follows, applicants are not restricted to the number of categories they wish to apply for and will be invited to select which category(s) they wish to apply for by completing the category application table document:
The second stage is where appointed supply partners compete for members individual contracts, more commonly referred to as a further competition (also known as mini-tender) stage and consists of members refining the requirements for their specific contract. Following acceptance on to the DPS, supply partners will be invited to tender for all Members’ Further Competitions under the region, sector and service category(s) they have successfully applied for. The DPS includes terms and conditions for the second stage further competitions by way of a supply agreement but places no obligations on Members to procure any cleaning services via the DPS. The DPS itself is not a contract and contracts (supply agreements) are only formed when services are called off by Members under the DPS.
The estimated value of the services to be procured for the entire duration of the DPS is an indicative amount and cannot be guaranteed.
Further information can be found within the procurement documents as detailed in section 1.3 of the notice.
The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
