Tender description

East Suffolk Council is inviting interested suppliers to support the delivery of the multi-million-pound Lowestoft Town Investment Plan, by joining a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide Works and Services in the town and surrounding area. Projects within the Lowestoft Town Investment Plan, along with any similar projects which may arise in the future and fall within the programme scope, will be grouped into lots. Suppliers, once qualified, may bid for individual tenders under the lots in the DPS. Pre-qualified suppliers will be able to see, and be notified of, all advertised projects in a lot and submit a tender response. The DPS will provide a full range of procurement activities over the next 10 years- projects on all lots will be of varying sizes and will provide exciting contracts for large and small, local, regional and national providers throughout the lifetime of the Lowestoft Investment Plan. The DPS will be hosted by In-tend eSourcing systems and will be a fully electronic process. The East Suffolk Council Procurement team will manage the process and will be happy to help provide guidance and support to businesses wishing to register their interest.

About the buyer

East Suffolk Council is a local authority that runs procurement through a shared service covering four councils and its own trading company. Great Yarmouth Borough Council, South Norfolk Council and Broadland District Council all use the same procurement team. East Suffolk Services Limited, the council's own trading company, is covered by the same arrangement. Suppliers register on the In-Tend portal to view and respond to live tenders. Contracts are awarded on value for money rather than lowest price alone, under open and transparent procurement rules. The council pays 98% of its suppliers within 30 days.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of East Suffolk Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and business services.
