Summary of the contracting process

The Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Voluntary, Charitable and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), managed by Orbit Group Limited, aimed to encourage VCSEs to tender for smaller and lower value goods, services and works within and outside the wider public sector. This procurement process fell under the "Other community, social and personal services" industry category with services as the main procurement category. Notably, the DPS covered various lots such as Cleaning services, Office services and supplies, Language services, and more. This restricted procedure utilised selective procurement methods and included a tender period ending on 19 April 2021. The contracts, valid for a two-year term starting from dates in 2021, were spread across multiple lots and awarded to various suppliers including SMEs. Key contacts were available at Orbit's Coventry office for further communication.

This DPS created substantial opportunities for VCSEs to engage in contracts that promote social value and community benefits, aligning with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) initiatives, government policies, and the Social Value Act. Businesses that would benefit from participating in this DPS included social enterprises, sheltered workshops, and organisations with an asset-lock structure like Community Interest Companies (CICs). By leveraging this DPS, businesses capable of providing a diverse range of goods and services, from office supplies to waste management, could find avenues for growth and increased social impact, driven by the procurement needs of public and private sectors.
