The Defence Infrastructure Panel (DIP) rates are not published and will only be provided:
- to inform procurement activities where a schedule of rates response has been sought as part of the Request for Proposal. The panel team will validate the Panel rates against those rates submitted at time of tender.
- to validate a variation that has been submitted under an active contract should the variation be on the basis of a schedule of rates.
For seeking a rate to inform the endorsement to proceed, the Panel Team can provide only an average across the relevant Panel category.
If rates are sought as part of a request for proposal, panellist must use the role descriptors and rates agreed at the panel level in their submission.
Note : A 3 day turnaround is required for all rates related requests and this should be included in procurement planning.
