This dynamic purchasing system (DPS) is managed under the Light Touch Regime and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). With a total value of £431 million, the awarded contract spans the period from 1st June 2024 to 31st December 2024. Multiple providers have been recognised as successful suppliers, ensuring comprehensive service delivery across the UKK23 region (Taunton, Somerset).
