Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is launching a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) titled "Dynamic Purchasing System for Employment and Health Related Test and Learn Provision." This procurement is classified under social and specific services and is expected to span across England, Scotland, and Wales. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with an open procurement method following the open procedure above the threshold. While the closing date for submissions was initially noted as 1st November 2018, the DPS is actually open-ended, allowing for ongoing applications. The contract period is set to commence from 1st November 2018 and will run until 31st March 2023.

This DPS offers significant opportunities for organisations, particularly those focused on innovation and local specialist support, to contribute to the development of evidence-based approaches for employment and health-related services. Businesses that are well-suited to participate include small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can deliver creative solutions and support for proof of concept initiatives. With an expected total value of approximately £2 million for the first year alone, this procurement initiative presents a chance for organisations to engage in pioneering projects with the potential for further contracts as the DPS develops over its four-year lifespan.

Notice Title

Dynamic Purchasing System for Employment and Health Related Test and Learn Provision

Notice Description

NB: The closing date for this DPS is open ended and not 1 November 2018 as entered on this Opportunity Notice. As set out in the Green Paper 'Improving Lives: Work, Health and Disability' , published in October 2016, the department is looking to deliver a number of new proof of concept' (PoC) to improve the support that it can offer and to understand what best works. This is a Contract Notice for social and specific services in accordance with Directive 2014/24/EU Article 24. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) intends to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure these activities in in England, Scotland and Wales. The DPS is for the procurement of social and other services referred to in Regulation 74 of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) and as such, the intention is to use a light touch regime, rather than the full regime described in Regulation 34 (Dynamic Purchasing System). This DPS will present opportunities for organisation, with a focus on innovation and local specialist support, to be involved and test the development of new approaches for employment and health related activity. This will be key to building evidence to support the delivery of future provision at both national and local level. At this stage we cannot confirm or guarantee any future business through the DPS but it is anticipated that there will be some limited numbers of proof of concepts in specific parts of the country in the next 6-12 months. However, it is expected that as the DPS develops the activity will increase involving most, if not all, parts of the country. The T&L DPS will commence on the first date that DWP signs the first DPS Contract, expected to be in November 2018. The T&L DPS will be open ended, but can be terminated by the Authority with twenty (20) Working Days' notice. The expectation is that it will run for four years. The expected total value of all Call-Off contracts for the DPS will be approximately PS2 million for 2018-19. Thereafter funding for DPS procurement will be annually agreed (amounts to be confirmed), and may include monies from other funding streams. This DPS will be for the use of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), its Executive Agencies and those Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs) sponsored by DWP. Further information including a list of such Agencies and Public Bodies can be viewed by selecting 'Ministerial Departments (link is external)' on the Departmental website (link is external). This DPS Contract will also be available for use by the following contracting bodies: - The Department for Work and Pensions; - Ministry of Justice; - Department of Health and Social Care; - The Department for Education; - Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government; - Home Office; - Scottish Government; - Welsh Government; - Local Authorities in England, Scotland and Wales. All relevant documentation is available via our Procurement Portal. Published in OJ / S at on 2018/S 205-468119.
