    "description": "In accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, a Dynamic Purchasing Agreement (DPS) established under the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015 must end by 27 October 2028, or as stated when it was established, whichever is earlier. This is four years after the new regime comes into effect. Therefore, the intended duration period of the RM6296 DPS Agreement is for four (4) years and one (1) month and 27 days. The value provided in Section II.1.5) is only an estimate. The Authority cannot guarantee to suppliers any business through this DPS Agreement. The Authority expressly reserves the right: (i) not to award any DPS Agreement as a result of the procurement process commenced by publication of this notice; and (ii) to make whatever changes it may see fit to the content and structure of the tendering competition; and in no circumstances will the customer be liable for any costs incurred by the suppliers. (iii) to make changes to the management charge applicable to this DPS in relation to both the percentage charged and the methodology used. We consider that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (\"TUPE\") may apply at the call for competition. It is the Supplier's responsibility to take their own advice and consider whether TUPE is likely to apply in the particular circumstances of the contract and to act accordingly. On 2.4.2014 Government introduced its Government Security Classifications (GSC) scheme which replaced Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All bidders should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this requirement. The link below to Gov.uk provides information on the GSC at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications. Cyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for central government contracts which involve handling personal information or provide certain ICT products/services. Government is taking steps to reduce the levels of cyber security risk in its supply chain through the Cyber Essentials scheme. The scheme defines a set of controls which, when implemented, will provide organisations with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of threat coming from the internet. To participate in this procurement, bidders must be able to demonstrate they comply with the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials, for services under and in connection with this procurement. Some purchases under this DPS Agreement may have requirements that can be met under this DPS Agreement but the purchase of which may be exempt from the Regulations (as defined in READ FIRST RM6296 DPS Needs within the invitation to tender documentation). In such cases, Call-offs from this DPS will be unregulated purchases for the purposes of the Procurement Regulations, and the Buyers may, at their discretion, modify the terms of the DPS and any Call-off Contracts to reflect that Buyer's specific needs.",
