Frameworks in the Procurement Planning Stage

Initial planning is underway for the following frameworks which will, once procured, update and replace existing popular CHIC frameworks:
• Consultancy Services
• Compliance Framework - including lots and sublots for Audit, Water Hygiene, Asbestos and Abatement Services and General Risk Advisory Services

In parallel, CHIC is actively developing a comprehensive strategy for the implementation of the CHIC Dynamic Marketplace, aimed at increasing procurement agility and supplier access. In line with the Procurement Act 2023, CHIC’s Dynamic Purchasing Systems (DPS) must be progressively replaced by Dynamic Markets.
