A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is an electronic system established by a contracting authority to purchase commonly used goods, works or services in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

The scope of the DPS is primarily for establishment operations including but not limited to: - Planting - Beat up - Weeding - Top Up Spraying - Herbicide application - Fertilising - Cleaning & Singling - Respacing - Brush cutter work - Chainsaw work - General Estate Labouring
