MoJ Minor Works Dynamic Purchasing System

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) (the "Authority") seeks to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System for Minor Works (MWDPS). Call-off contracts let under the MWDPS will have a maximum contract value of 1 million GBP, however we expect the majority of projects to have a contract value of <£500,000 GBP. This Prior Information Notice is issued with a view to engaging with the Construction market about the procurement and delivery of construction, maintenance and repair works to the MoJ estate. In the main, this includes prison establishments but may also include courts, tribunal and corporate buildings. The purpose of the engagement is to inform the market of the opportunity, understand the potential market interest in projects and gather feedback from contractors. The MoJ want to explore areas such as: — Encouraging SMEs; — Barriers to participation; — Maintaining a healthy contractor supply base; — Thoughts on opportunities to offer social value benefits. When issued, the procurement will be undertaken in accordance with a Regulation 34 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The MWDPS will operate across 4 work categories and 5 regional locations. Connected to this, there is a desire to attract a broad range of contactors to be part of the MWDPS. The number of contactors appointed to the MWDPS is unlimited. The MWDPS will initially be in operation on a 4 + 2 + 2 year term. However, the duration may be varied (reduced or extended) in line with emerging business needs. The estimated spend for the first 4 years of the MWDPS is 260,000,000 GBP (65,000,000 GBP per year). The proposed terms and conditions to be used are the NEC4: Engineering & Construction Short Contract, however consideration is also being given to a bespoke set of terms and conditions for straightforward or very low value works.
