- All other public bodies and contracting authorities (as defined in UK public procurement legislation) who enter into an Access Agreement with SEC Procurement Limited to access the DPS - referred to in the DPS Agreement as Associate Members.
Our mission is to support our members, customers, clients and suppliers in delivering a brilliant service to end-users through collaborative procurement and in compliance with the current and future Procurement Regulations (Public Contract Regulations 2015 and The Procurement Act 2023).

To participate in this and any future SEC tenders or applications, you will be required to register your company details on this website. https://in-tendhost.co.uk/southeastconsortium/aspx/Home .

At the point of registration, suppliers are asked to include a single point of contact in their organisation for their response to the procurement.
