## Summary

The procurement process, facilitated by West Midlands Ambulance Service, focuses on establishing a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) for Approved Learning, Development and Education Service Providers. This is a procurement initiative under the Light-Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, targeting the education and training services sector across the United Kingdom. The procurement method was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, resulting in 33 successful awards signed on 6th July 2023. The process is in the award stage, with several suppliers chosen to form part of this PDPS, which allows for the continual addition or removal of providers without a minimum or maximum limit.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs in the education and training services field. The PDPS framework allows for suppliers to receive direct awards and engage in mini-competition procurements for upcoming provisions, ensuring flexibility and accessibility in meeting organisational and educational requirements. The focus on quality criteria encourages businesses that specialise in innovative learning and development solutions to partake, promoting a diverse array of educational services tailored to regional and local needs. Businesses seeking to provide exceptional training services or those aiming to scale operations in partnership with regional or local authorities would find this PDPS an advantageous platform.

## Notice

The purpose of this procurement is to establish a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System Contract Agreement ("PDPS Contract Agreement") under the Light-Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 - regulations 74 through 76, for the provision of Approved Learning, Development & Education Service Providers. It is anticipated that the Authority will appoint multiple suppliers that meet the requirements of the Invitation to Tender and Specification for the provision in the PDPS. Suppliers can be added and/or removed throughout the lifetime of the PDPS, with no minimum or maximum number of suppliers. Those who have previously been successful in joining the PDPS do not need to re-apply annually. The call-off contract award methodology for this PDPS will permit the Organisational Development and Education & Training Departments to direct award and/or engage in mini-competition procurements for future provisions to compliant suppliers awarded to the PDPS against the provisions detailed. 0493-22-W - 2023/S 000 - 019277
