Notice Information
Notice Title
Provision of Dynamic Systems
Notice Description
Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is seeking to establish a single agreement for the ongoing provision of a digital platform for the support and maintenance of registration and sign in services, support and maintenance of existing Dynamic Purchasing Systems and LVPS (Low Value Purchase System), functionality to support the delivery of new Dynamic Markets and the provision of the Modern Slavery Assessment Tool (MSAT). The contract is designed to be a replacement to consolidate existing service requirements, which are currently delivered via two separate contracts, RM6101 CCS & CCSO24A27-1, into one combined agreement for all required services. The new agreement should cover the term 1st October 2025 through until no later than 28th February 2029.
Procurement Information
Following the introduction of PA23, all DPS' that have been let under PCR2015 must expire no later than 24 February 2029. Given that these DPS' are live procurements and are on a platform which has been integrated with CDP, the cost and time of change would be significant therefore due to technical and legislative reasons a direct award to the incumbent supplier, to maintain continuity, is the best option.
