Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Essex is conducting a tender for the initiative titled "T830 Make Happen Quasi-DPS," aimed at educational and training services. This procurement falls under the light touch regime, being compliant with the Public Contract Regulations 2015, with a focus on addressing the educational needs of young individuals in years 9 to 13 and adult learners aged 19 and above in the UK. The Quasi-DPS will consist of eight distinct lots, with an estimated overall value of £1,800,000 excluding VAT. Key dates associated with this procurement include the deadline for submissions set for 30th July 2022, which presents an opportunity for interested suppliers to participate in a streamlined procurement process to assist in achieving the objectives set by the Office for Students.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on educational services, particularly those that specialise in outreach programmes, mentoring, and skills development tailored to underrepresented groups in higher education. Companies that can provide innovative solutions aligned with the government's aims to bridge educational participation gaps will find themselves well-positioned to compete successfully. The various lots cover a wide range of services, including one-on-one mentoring, training sessions for teachers, and outreach activities targeting parents, thereby allowing a diverse range of educational suppliers to engage with the University of Essex. Interested bidders must complete a qualification questionnaire to demonstrate their suitability for meeting minimum selection criteria.

Notice Information

Notice Title

T830 Make Happen Quasi-DPS

Notice Description

An EU Light Touch procurement exercise which is compliant with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 will be undertaken to select suppliers for a Quasi-Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) which will offer access to preapproved suppliers who can be appointed using a streamlined procurement process, ensuring the University obtains value for money whilst enabling the Office for Students' objectives to be achieved efficiently. For clarity, this procurement is not a DPS as defined under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, Regulation 34, but is a Quasi-DPS as defined in the procurement documents. This is because Section 7 -- Social and Other Specific Services are not subject to the full regulations of the procurement procedures, as they are covered by the light touch regime (the Light Touch Regime as allowed under Regulations 74 to 77). The Quasi-DPS will be broken down into eight lots. Estimated Quasi-DPS value excluding VAT between 0 GBP -- 1 800 000 GBP.
