## Summary

The Scottish Government is currently in the active stage of extending its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Network Advice, titled “Network Advice Dynamic Purchasing System,” which will run for an additional 12 months, from 19 November 2021 to 18 November 2022. This procurement process is classified under the services category and falls within the general public services industry. The authority plans to allow new suppliers to join the DPS throughout this period. Interested parties should note that the deadline for submission is set for 17 November 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in network advisory services, information technology, and consultancy.

Given the procurement method is selective, there is a chance for new entrants to establish themselves within the framework, leveraging the electronic submission process as outlined through the Scottish Government's public procurement platform. Moreover, the inclusion of community benefits in the tender conditions can further enhance the appeal for firms engaged in socially responsible practices.
