This procurement process fell under the "Other community, social and personal services" industry category with services as the main procurement category. Notably, the DPS covered various lots such as Cleaning services, Office services and supplies, Language services, and more. This restricted procedure utilised selective procurement methods and included a tender period ending on 19 April 2021. The contracts, valid for a two-year term starting from dates in 2021, were spread across multiple lots and awarded to various suppliers including SMEs. Key contacts were available at Orbit's Coventry office for further communication. This DPS created substantial opportunities for VCSEs to engage in contracts that promote social value and community benefits, aligning with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) initiatives, government policies, and the Social Value Act. Businesses that would benefit from participating in this DPS included social enterprises, sheltered workshops, and organisations with an asset-lock structure like Community Interest Companies (CICs). By leveraging this DPS, businesses capable of providing a diverse range of goods and services, from office supplies to waste management, could find avenues for growth and increased social impact, driven by the procurement needs of public and private sectors. ## Notice **Please note that this DPS has now closed and is no longer available for use** (This DPS relates to Prior Information Notice 2021/S 000-002370) This DPS is intended to be a platform to lower the barriers of entry and encourage VCSE's (Voluntary, Charitable and Social Enterprises) and similar organisations such as Sheltered Workshops (organisations employing disadvantaged workers) to tender for smaller and lower value goods, services and works in and outside of the wider public sector, where specific requirements and non-core work is required. ### Lot Information Cleaning services and supplies **Please note that this DPS has now closed and is no longer available for use** (This DPS relates to Prior Information Notice 2021/S 000-002370) This DPS is intended to be a platform to lower the barriers of entry and encourage VCSE's (Voluntary, Charitable and Social Enterprises) and similar organisations such as Sheltered Workshops (organisations employing disadvantaged workers) to tender for smaller and lower value goods, services and works in and outside of the wider public sector, where specific requirements and non-core work is required.
