This initiative is part of the services sector and targets providers across various innovation areas across the UK. The DPS, under a selective procurement method, was initiated on 23rd February 2018 and has an active contract period that could extend until 2024. Interested bidders must apply to specific Lots within the system, and the tender period for this phase closes on 22nd February 2023. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses focused on monitoring and evaluation services, especially those that can contribute to technology and science innovations. Companies that provide project-supervision services, particularly SMEs, are well-suited to compete. By joining the DPS, Monitoring Services Providers may be invited to tender for various future opportunities, thus enhancing their potential for business growth and partnerships in public sector projects. ## Notice This contract notice is published on behalf of UKRI (referred to herinafter as Innovate UK) Associated OJEU Contract Notice publication number: 2018/S 037-080867. Innovate UK is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) as a means of awarding contracts for monitoring services. Innovate UK provides grant funding to individuals and organisations involved in developing technology and science innovations. It is vital for Innovate UK that the performance and progress of publicly funded projects are monitored to ensure that the funding is used properly and effectively. The DPS is divided into a 48 Lots based on the different areas of innovation to which the innovation projects relate. The DPS is a completely electronic tendering system through which Monitoring Services Providers (MSPs) can apply to be admitted to a specific Lot. Interested parties must specify which Lots they are applying to join. Admission to a Lot or Lots is no guarantee of work, but Innovate UK's intention would be to invite tenders from MSPs within Lots for future Monitoring Services opportunities. The DPS will remain open and valid from the start date of 23rd February 2018 for an initial period of two years, with the option to extend the operation of the DPS for two further 12 month periods. See attached documents for DPS Overview and DPS Rules. MSPs can apply to join the DPS at any time in the life of the DPS by completing the registration details at https//innovateuk.force.com/s/registration-page . About Innovate UK and UKRI. Innovate UK is the UK's innovation agency. We are an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and are incorporated as the Technology Strategy Board by Royal Charter in England and Wales. In April 2018 changes will be made to the structure of the UK's research and innovation bodies (including Innovate UK). A new body corporate will be established under the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 that brings together the UK's seven Research Councils, Innovate UK and a new organisation, Research England. This new body will be known as UK Research and Innovation ("UKRI"). With the establishment of UKRI, Innovate UK (Technology Strategy Board) will cease to exist as a body corporate in its own right and will become a committee or 'Council' of UKRI. Innovate UK will continue to administer contract and grant funding and to manage the relationship with MSPs as a Council of UKRI. However, existing contracts awarded by Innovate UK under the DPS will be transferred to UKRI under a statutory transfer scheme and future contracts awarded under the DPS will be entered into by UKRI. More information about UKRI is available from www.ukri.org. Additional information: DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER. Please see the attached DPS Documentation for full details and instructions.
