NHS London Procurement Partnership (LPP) are inviting applications from experienced suppliers of Estates & Facilities Consultancy Services to be appointed onto a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide high quality services to health and public sector organisations.

There will no limit on the number of suppliers that may join the DPS for each service category. New suppliers can also apply to join the DPS at any point during its lifetime.

During the DPS validity period, a Contracting Authority will be able to search for Potential Providers that match their requirements using: work category, location of project, value of project and any other criteria deemed necessary and available within the standard search criteria Each Contracting Authority will be allowed to issue a Capability Assessment as part of its Mini-Competition to establish a final supplier list to invite to tender. It is also possible to combine categories where there are clear synergies and common industry precedents.
