Coverage: 146 active published awards; 146 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The work of the Digital Place Team, including the multi award-winning 5G RuralDorset project, has earned the Dorset Council area a reputation for world-class telecoms R&D. We want to further establish our county as a leading destination for digital innovation in sectors key to the success of our region and the UK. The Dorset Council Plan to 2024 identifies digital innovation as a key Cabinet commitment. We now have an opportunity to continue supporting and growing this innovation ecosystem to create something of lasting local, national and international significance. It could draw in millions of pounds and create hundreds of skilled jobs in Dorset, helping support council priorities and regional aspirations such as those set out in the Great South West Prospectus. We need an agile, pacey yet legally compliant way of working with current and future partners and suppliers to offer “innovation as a service”. Opportunities in this field can be high value and typically have short deadlines. Speedy but robust procurement arrangements are essential.

  8. Published tender amendment
    Not published
    The original contract end date of 29 February 2028 has been extended to 23 February 2029, resulting in a total extension period of 11 months and 25 days. This arrangement is an established Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) operating under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, allowing ongoing supplier admission and flexible call off arrangements. The extension reflects the revised transitional and saving provisions set out in the Procurement Act 2023 (Commencement No. 3 and Transitional and Saving Provisions) (Amendment) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/959), which amend the implementation timetable for the new procurement regime. These amended regulations include revised deadlines that extend certain dates previously set for late October 2028 to 23 February 2029, ensuring continued lawful operation of DPS arrangements established under the 2015 Regulations during the transition to the new regime.
