NY Highways has announced it’s looking to engage with highways-related businesses that operate in the North Yorkshire area to join its brand-new Dynamic Purchasing System.

It says the DPS will open the door to suppliers of all sizes to contribute to NY Highways’ work in maintaining 5,800 miles of roads in North Yorkshire.

In particular, NY Highways is encouraging micro and SME companies that operate locally to apply to join the system and potentially get involved in more work in the area.

The system will cover a comprehensive range of services and products related to highways maintenance activities and will streamline NY Highways’ supply chain and procurement processes.

Examples of types of highways maintenance suppliers or businesses NY Highways want to include on their DPS include; civils, surfacing, surveys, traffic management, plant hire, street furniture, and more.

Nick Burgess, Buying Manager at NY Highways, said: “This type of DPS will be a first for NY Highways, and possibly for the industry. We want to engage with a range of suppliers, particularly local businesses, who can help us maintain and improve the highways infrastructure in the area.”

Jamie Crumlish, NY Highways’ Managing Director, added: “Here at NY Highways, we strive to innovate and collaborate in order to deliver quality highways services to residents in North Yorkshire. We believe this DPS will enhance efficiency, foster innovation, and build stronger partnerships within North Yorkshire’s highways maintenance sector.”

At present, over 100 suppliers and businesses have applied to be part of the DPS and NY Highways says it’s working through applications to ensure as many are accepted onto the system as possible.
