The submission route named on the official notice.
This is a large award for Construction — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 64,002 valued Construction tenders in our corpus.
Orkney Islands Council is extending its existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for all construction, Civil Engineering and associated works for a 60 month period.
This will replace the existing Approved Contractors List.
Works up to 2,000,000 GBP including reactive and planned maintenance, improvements, re-developments, testing, servicing and associated works will be covered by this DPS.
Works will be procured from a range methods, from dayworks to quick quotes for works up to 50,000 GBP and open procurement for works between 50,000 GBP and 2,000,000 GBP or where there is limited competition.
