Provision of Highways and Civil Engineering Works Powys Mid Wales DPS
Framework Description
Powys County Council's Highways and Civil Engineering Works DPS is a dynamic purchasing system for highways and civil engineering projects across Powys in Mid Wales. It has a single lot, so qualified contractors join once and are then invited to compete for individual schemes. It is open to new applicants throughout its term, which runs until 23 February 2029, and was advertised through Find a Tender notice 023174-2024.
Context & Use Case
The council uses the DPS for work on its highways and wider infrastructure: road maintenance and surface repairs, bridge repairs, drainage and other civil engineering schemes. Each scheme is competed among admitted contractors, so joining gives you access to the council's pipeline of works rather than a promise of any particular job. Smaller schemes give local contractors a realistic way in.
Scope of Services
Road maintenance and surface repairs Bridge repairs and structural maintenance Drainage installation, maintenance and repair Other civil engineering works for local infrastructure
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
Suits civil engineering and highways contractors, including Mid Wales SMEs, that can deliver road, bridge and drainage works. As a DPS it is open now, so contractors that meet the selection criteria can apply at any point before February 2029.
Buyer Benefits
Powys can compete highways schemes quickly among pre-qualified contractors, add new firms when it needs more capacity, and use local contractors who know the county. That shortens the time between spotting a defect or drainage problem and getting a crew on site.
Next Steps
Read Find a Tender notice 023174-2024 for the application route and selection criteria, then apply. Prepare evidence of highways and drainage schemes, CSCS and street works qualifications, plant and labour resources, and health, safety and environmental policies. Once admitted, track invitations closely and price each scheme with travel and mobilisation across Powys in mind.
