This Prior Information Notice is to signal an intention to commence market engagement with those within the Construction Professional Services market.

CCS is committed to developing routes to market that offer opportunities to organisations of all sizes and on the back of extensive supply chain engagement Crown Commercial Service Category Team has developed a Category Strategy that is designed to offer a wide portfolio of construction professional services at locations throughout the UK. It is envisaged that the DPS will support the construction services market regionally and allow organisations of all sizes to have access to those opportunities.

It is planned that the DPS will be live at the same time as the RM6165 framework. During market engagement Crown Commercial Service will invite suggestions and feedback on the proposed structure of the DPS from the market including industry experts, specialists, suppliers and potential customers.

CCS aims to start market engagement 26th April 2021 via a supplier survey, to gather feedback on the DPS basis of design.
