Description

The Dynamic Purchasing System will be used for the provision of employability and skills services.

The period of validity of the DPS will be 56 months from commencement.

Once a Supplier has successfully completed their application to the DPS, suppliers will be advised of the opportunities available as and when they arise. Suppliers can then choose whether they want to bid for the requirement or not (it is not compulsory to bid for every opportunity offered, and all suppliers within the DPS approved Supplier list will be informed of the opportunity, but can choose whether or not to bid on an individual basis).

Tender opportunities are likely to be offered either via an electronic auction (e-auction) exercise or via an electronic quote mechanism (currently In-Tend).

Estimated value excluding VAT: £60,000,000.00

In order to submit an application to the DPS and bid for call-off's as and when they arise, you will need to register as a Supplier on our e-procurement portal, CSW-Jets (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/csw-jets/aspx/Home).
