Description

ARU is establishing the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide ARU with a compliant procurement route for the provision of private student residential accommodation to new ARU students. The DPS will provide one or multiple suitable buildings to ARU in order to fulfil our accommodation needs. When the DPS is established, ARU will be able to search for Potential Providers that match their requirements using: service category, room type and price and any other criteria deemed necessary and available within the standard search criteria. ARU will invite all Potential Providers admitted to the DPS to bid for the specific contract, via a call for further competition (mini-competition) but may impose further conditions which exclude some Potential Providers from a specific competition. The DPS will be open for a period of 3 years and applications to the DPS may be made at any time during this period.

Suppliers wishing to apply to the DPS must complete the following document:
