Located in London, this procurement, initiated under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, is currently in the tender stage. The procurement process follows a selective method through a restricted procedure and aims to run until 27th March 2028, with possible extensions subject to annual review. The initiative involves a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), providing a compliant route for health and care sectors to access immersive learning technologies. Key procurement deadlines include the tender period ending on 3rd September 2027, underlining the framework's long-term impact on the industry. This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in immersive and simulation technologies, particularly those focused on educational software, content development, and hardware provision. Companies capable of developing high-quality simulation-based programmes for health and care education are well-positioned to benefit from this national agreement. With a projected value of £500 million, businesses providing XR technologies and related professional services are encouraged to engage with this dynamic market. Suppliers interested in joining the DPS should register on the Health Family Single eCommercial System and demonstrate their capacity to offer and maintain innovative solutions within this evolving field. ## Notice Immersive, Simulation and Related Technologies Dynamic Purchasing System Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) was published under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) as amended and will continue to be operated in accordance with the terms of that regime. Under current transitional guidance, DPS agreements established before the transition to the Procurement Act 2023 must come to an end by 23rd February 2029 at the latest. This applies regardless of any original DPS duration or end date, and allows the DPS to remain active and compliant, ensuring continuity and stability of the route to market for Contracting Authorities and Suppliers alike. Accordingly, the DPS is being extended and will expire on 27th March 2028, subject to annual review, where NHS LPP reserve the right to extend, shorten or terminate, in part or whole, any categories or the entire DPS at any time. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The London Procurement Partnership is advertising for suppliers for a Immersive, Simulation and Related Technologies Dynamic Purchasing System.
