Description

The North of Tyne Combined Authority (NTCA) is seeking to establish a multi-supplier, multi-category Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the delivery of Local Business Support Services within the North East area. The primary focus of the DPS will be delivery of business support activities, including those identified in the UKSPF Investment Plans prepared by each of the five accountable bodies (as listed below) and approved by UK Government on the 5th of December 2022; interventions are expected to be bespoke to regional need and designed to reflect the unique mix of assets, sectors and opportunities in the area. The NTCA and other Purchasers listed cannot guarantee the level and spend to be procured via this DPS. The total value of the DPS is expected to be approximately £30m. This DPS will not be the only route to market used by the NTCA and other Purchases listed for delivery of business support services. They reserve the right to select alternative routes to market as required.
The DPS is being established for use by NTCA and the local councils of County Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside, and Sunderland. The DPS will also be available for use in the future by the proposed new combined authority operating in the North East area (see further details here: North East devolution deal - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). The DPS is being procured on behalf of NTCA by North Tyneside Council's procurement team. For the avoidance of doubt however, NTCA are the Contracting Authority for the purposes of this procurement process.
