Podium Surveying appointed to ProcurePublic DPS

Podium is delighted to announce our successful appointment as Framework Partner (Consultancy and Advisory Services) to a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) managed by ProcurePublic. This achievement is a significant milestone, opening up new opportunities for Podium to partner with public sector bodies on a diverse range of projects.

Being appointed to this DPS highlights that Podium has successfully met ProcurePublic’s rigorous standards for suitability, capability, and quality. This pre-qualification allows public sector organisations—such as local authorities, housing associations, and schools—to engage our services far more quickly and efficiently than traditional procurement methods.

ProcurePublic plays a crucial role in connecting the public sector with vetted, compliant, and quality-assured suppliers. They manage a portfolio of compliant procurement solutions, including frameworks and Dynamic Purchasing Systems, specifically designed to adhere to the stringent Public Contracts Regulations (PCR).

“This is a fantastic step forward for the team,” says Stuart Buckley, Partner “Our inclusion on ProcurePublic’s DPS is testament to the high standards we maintain across our services. Podium is now poised to begin bidding on new and exciting public sector contracts and to demonstrate delivery of our excellent advisory and consultancy services to ProcurePublic’s clients within London and the East, South East and South West of England”.

A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is an electronic, continually open marketplace for public sector contracts. Unlike a traditional Framework, a DPS is unique because:

– Suppliers like Podium can apply to join at any point during its lifespan, keeping the supplier pool fresh and competitive.

– It allows contracting authorities to invite all relevant qualified suppliers to a ‘mini-competition’ for specific projects, enabling them to tailor their requirements and award the contract to the most economically advantageous tender.

– It ensures that all procurement activity is fully compliant with UK public sector procurement law, giving clients peace of mind.

ProcurePublic’s mission is to simplify the procurement process, minimise timeframes, and grant access to a wide selection of qualified suppliers.  Podium is pleased to feature as a Framework Partner on their website here.
