    "description": "This Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) has been established to support the inspection, repair, and replacement of energy efficiency measures and renewable technology installations.\nThe DPS will operate independently but will complement the LHCPG N9 framework, ensuring that a comprehensive range of renewable and energy-efficient solutions are accessible. The scope of this DPS includes:\n- Heating and ventilation\n- Electrical energy systems\n- Insulation\n- Metering and controls\n- Emerging technologies\n- Multidisciplinary services\nThe aim is to provide contracting authorities with a flexible route to procure innovative, low-carbon solutions that align with sustainability goals, funding requirements, and regulatory compliance.\nGiven the evolving nature of the renewable energy sector, this DPS has been structured to allow for future expansion, with the flexibility to introduce additional lots in response to market demand. This ensures that emerging technologies and government-backed initiatives, such as hydrogen heating, BIM solutions, smart metering, and multidisciplinary renewable projects, can be incorporated without requiring a new procurement process. In line with Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015, any future modifications will be transparently managed, ensuring compliance while maintaining an agile approach to procurement. Through this DPS, public sector bodies will have access to qualified suppliers who can deliver high-quality, energy-efficient solutions that contribute to decarbonisation targets and environmental sustainability.",

  "description": "LHC Procurement Group Limited is a not for profit central purchasing body acting on behalf of contracting authorities throughout England, Wales and Scotland (including partners of the Scottish Procurement Alliance, Welsh Procurement Alliance, and South West Procurement Alliance) for whom we continue to monitor up to 500 live projects at any one time. Thanks to their ongoing and collective feedback and input into the development of this framework and given the reach and scale of their collective portfolios, the framework is both designed and anticipated to support the vast majority of requirements. Consequently, other contracting authorities that were not specifically consulted in the development of this framework may nevertheless also deem the framework to offer a value for money procurement solution for their own requirements and may also use the framework. As of the date of publication of this notice our frameworks may be used by all contracting authorities in England, Wales and Scotland as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as listed on:\nhttps://www.cpconstruction.org.uk/who-we-work-with/\nhttps://lse.lhcprocure.org.uk/who-we-work-with/\nhttps://www.scottishprocurement.scot/who-we-work-with/\nhttps://www.swpa.org.uk/who-we-work-with/\nhttps://www.welshprocurement.cymru/who-we-work-with/\nincluding, but not limited to Registered social landlords (RSL's), tenant management organisations (TMOs) and arm's length management organisations (ALMOs), local authorities and any subsidiaries and joint-venture vehicles of those local authorities, health authorities, councils, boards and trusts, publicly funded schools, universities and further education establishments, colleges, police forces, fire and rescue services or registered charities.\nLHC clients may add community benefit requirements in their call-off contracts from this Framework including but not limited to:\n- to generate employment and training opportunities for priority groups;\n- vocational training;\n- to up-skill the existing workforce;\n- equality and diversity initiatives;\n- to make sub-contracting opportunities available to SMEs, the third sector and supported businesses;\n- supply-chain development activity;\n- to build capacity in community organisations;\n- educational support initiatives.\nNOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Public Contracts Scotland Web Site at https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=791069.\nThe Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason:\nThe Contractor shall ensure that all contracts with Subcontractors and Suppliers which the Contractor intends to procure following the Commencement Date, and which the Contractor has not, before the date of this Contract, already planned to award to a particular Subcontractor or Supplier, and awarded following a fair, open, transparent and competitive process proportionate to the nature and value of the contract.\nThere is no obligation to use PCS to run this process.\nCommunity benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/\nA summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows:\nThe following metrics are examples of the social value outcomes implemented for the EERT DPS, however this is subject to change and a final suite will be discussed and applied as part of the onboarding and go-live of the DPS. LHCPG will work with appointed companies to ensure that all SV and project reporting requirements are proportional and achievable.\nIndividual Wellbeing - Improving local environment\nPlanet & Environment - Feeling safe and secure & Enhancing premises\n(SC Ref:791069)",
