Procure Plus Holdings Limited's Dynamic Purchasing System for Commercial Retrofit remains open for suppliers, with a listed value of £215m and a closing date of 23 February 2029 at 5:00pm. The notice was originally published in November 2023 and last edited on 9 June 2026.
The DPS is for commercial, non-domestic retrofit consultancy and works. Suppliers can review the Contracts Finder notice and associated bidding documents before applying. Thornton & Lowe's Tender Pipeline service can help suppliers identify and track opportunities like this where access remains open over a longer period.
What the DPS covers
Procure Plus wants to enter into an agreement for commercial, non-domestic retrofit consultancy and works. The DPS is intended for use by the wider public sector, with Procure Plus acting as a value-focused, not-for-profit procurement organisation specialising in goods and services linked to new build, repair and maintenance in social housing.
Although the listed industry code is building installation work, suppliers should not read the opportunity too narrowly. The description points to commercial retrofit, which may involve energy assessment, consultancy, building fabric improvements, M&E upgrades, heating and ventilation works, low carbon technologies, project management and wider enabling works for public sector property portfolios.
Why the long access window matters
Unlike a one-off tender deadline, this DPS is an active route to market that remains open for suppliers to apply. That makes it useful for organisations that may not be ready for immediate framework competition but can prepare their evidence, accreditations, case studies and pricing over time.
Suppliers should still treat the application seriously. DPS entry may unlock access to future call-offs, but buyers will still expect credible delivery capacity, compliance, commercial maturity and evidence of relevant public sector or comparable commercial retrofit work. Our guide to dynamic markets in procurement is useful context for suppliers navigating flexible routes to market under changing procurement rules.
How to apply
Suppliers are directed to the LaunchControl tender management portal for registration and bidding documents. Because the opportunity is suitable for SMEs, smaller specialist contractors and consultants should review whether the scope fits their capabilities rather than assuming the value makes it suitable only for large national contractors.
