This procurement is aimed at providing central government and the wider public sector with services related to assisted digital support and digital inclusion. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a tender period concluding on 20 June 2024. The total budget for this procurement is £50 million, which falls under the category of community, social and personal services, and the delivery locations encompass the United Kingdom and its territories. This DPS represents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on delivering digital support and training services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in technology and education. As the DPS remains open for participation throughout its duration, companies will have ongoing chances to submit tenders for relevant services, thereby enhancing their visibility and potential workload within the public sector. This is particularly suited for businesses that can demonstrate experience in assisting individuals in accessing digital services and improving their digital skills. ## Notice Crown Commercial Service is setting up a dynamic purchasing system for an initial period of 48 months. CCS is inviting bidders to request to participate in the Digital Inclusion and Support DPS. This DPS will provide central government and wider public sector departments the opportunity to find and procure a range of services relating to assisted digital support and digital inclusion support. The 3 distinct categories of the DPS service filters are support type, delivery method and location. If you are successfully appointed to the DPS following your submission you will be invited by customers (buyers) to submit tenders for relevant services through a call for competition. This DPS remains open for any supplier to request to participate throughout the duration of the DPS. CCS reserves the right to reduce, extend or terminate the DPS period at any time during its lifetime in accordance with the terms set out in the DPS Contract.
