This initiative aims to establish a pool of approved providers offering high-quality training for the council's workforce. The Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) commenced on 31 May 2022 and is set to operate until 30 May 2025, subject to revisions. It is organised as a 2-stage process: initially admitting providers who meet selection criteria, followed by a mini-competition for contract awards. The procurement stage is currently at "tender update", with the latest amendment extending the procedure's key dates. The council is open to applications throughout the DPS lifespan and is based in Telford, UKG21, with contact details provided for potential inquiries. This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on education and training sectors. Businesses suited to compete include local, national, and regional providers who can offer flexible and high-quality training solutions across numerous lots such as Adult Services, Children’s Services, Communication, and others. The estimated total value of opportunities across the various lots could be up to £2,000,000. The procurement method is selective, utilising a restricted procedure, providing potential for businesses to secure contracts throughout the DPS duration. Engaging in this DPS can expand service offerings and client bases for providers within the geographical and sectoral focus. ## Notice Telford and Wrekin Council wants to develop a pool of Approved Providers capable of delivering high quality training for our workforce, whilst also demonstrating exceptional value for money to us as the employer.
