Overview

Energy Systems Catapult Limited is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) framework to provide external support for projects within its Business Model Innovation team, valued at approximately £750,000 over two years. The DPS seeks to create a preferred list of contractors who can be rapidly engaged (within one month) to support projects with short lead times, offering more cost-effective and controlled engagement than existing procurement frameworks. This is an open application process rather than a time-limited tender; interested suppliers should apply via email to procurement@es.catapult.org.uk with "BMI DPS Application" in the subject line to request an application pack and review the minimum criteria for joining one or more lots.
