## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is undertaking a significant transition to a new eProcurement System aimed at establishing the FSF Dynamic Purchasing System 2 (FSF DPS 2) for the procurement of work-focused activities within Jobcentre Plus Districts across the UK, including England, Scotland, and Wales. This system pertains to the light touch regime under Regulation 74 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement, operating under an open procedure, is anticipated to reach an estimated value of £250,000,000, with the contracting phase from 20th September 2025 to 30th September 2028. Application for supplier accreditation opens from 20 September 2021, and the DPS specifically seeks to improve procurement efficiency and service delivery updates such as an updated employability journey and payment model.

This opportunity is tailored for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), reflecting the open nature of the procedure. Businesses specializing in educational and training services, specifically those located in designated UK regions or capable of serving British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, and the Isle of Man, will find this scheme advantageous for expanding their operations. The emphasis on a streamlined accreditation process and the development of new evaluation and supplier feedback mechanisms enhances transparency and competitiveness, fostering significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in delivering social services. Interested suppliers can explore potential collaborations by registering and participating in the upcoming accreditation rounds as the new procurement system goes live.

## Notice

PLEASE NOTE This Notice has now been closed as the DWP eProcurement System (ePS) Jaggaer is now inactive. A revised Notice will be issued via the new DWP ePS early September 2025, and the FSF DPS 2 will then be re-opened for new applications. The revised Notice will include further details on how to apply on the new DWP ePS. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) intends to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure Work Focused Activities in Jobcentre Plus Districts in England, Scotland and Wales. The DPS is for the procurement of social and other services referred to in Regulation 74 of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) and as such, the intention is to use a light touch regime, rather than the full regime described in Regulation 34 (Dynamic Purchasing System). The DPS is for the sole use of DWP. The Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 - For the Provision of Work Focused Activities (FSF DPS 2) is the replacement for the DWP Dynamic Purchasing System for provision of work-focused activities known as the Flexible Support Fund DPS (FSF DPS). Estimated overall value of this DPS will be PS250,000,000.00 *** *** *** ADDENDUMS 12/09/24 - The new regulations will now come into effect on 24 February 25. 27/08/24 - The Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 (FSF DPS 2) is due to expire September 25 and as per the 'Transforming Public Procurement - Communication Note' issued on 19 February 24, the new "Procurement Regulation 24" will come into effect for any new frameworks/ DPS in October 24. For DWP to fully understand the implications and implementation of the new Procurement Act Regulations, we have taken the decision to extend the current FSF DPS 2 (per Regulation 34 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("PCR 2015"), Regulation 34(28)). The extension period for the FSF DPS2 will be from 20 September 25 up to 30 September 28. However, as per Para 14.2 of the Core Terms, DWP reserve the right to terminate the FSF DPS 2 earlier. It is highly anticipated that this right will be exercised in due course to create a "Dynamic Market" under the new regulations. DWP will ensure that those suppliers accredited onto the FSF DPS 2 will be given advance notice of any change, but until such time, the FSF DPS 2 will continue to run as normal and any supplier wishing to apply to join, should follow the guidance issued. Additional information: ADDENDUM 12 SEPTEMBER 2024 The new regulations will now come into effect on 24 February 2025 ADDENDUM 27 AUGUST 2024 As per the 'Transforming Public Procurement - Communication Note' issued on 19 February 2024, the new "Procurement Regulation 2024" will come into effect for any new frameworks / DPS in October 2024. The Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 (FSF DPS 2) is due to expire September 2025 and for DWP to fully understand the implications and implementation of the new Procurement Act Regulations, we have taken the decision to extend the current FSF DPS 2 (per Regulation 34 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("PCR 2015"), Regulation 34(28)). The extension period for the FSF DPS2 will be from 20 September 2025 up to 30 September 2028. However, as per Para 14.2 of the Core Terms, DWP reserve the right to terminate the FSF DPS 2 earlier than the 30 September 2028. It is highly anticipated that this right will be exercised in due course to create a "Dynamic Market" under the new regulations. DWP will ensure that those suppliers accredited onto the FSF DPS 2 will be given advance notice of any change, but until such time, the FSF DPS 2 will continue to run as normal and any supplier wishing to apply to join, should follow the guidance issued. *** *** *** As of 1 January 2021, the internationally comparable regional geography for the UK is the International Territorial Levels (ITLs) geography.
