Frameworks in the Procurement Planning Stage
Initial planning is underway for the following frameworks which will, once procured, replace existing popular CHIC frameworks:
• Consultancy Services
• Building Compliance - including lots and sublots for Audit, Water Hygiene, Asbestos and Abatement Services and General Risk Advisory Services• Roofing
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.
CHIC manages the largest DPS in the sector and the strategy will focus first on the most popular works and services.
