Department for Work and Pensions · All their open notices
What this is
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) operates the Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 (FSF DPS 2) to procure Work Focused Activities for Jobcentre Plus Districts across England, Scotland and Wales. The DPS covers social and other services under the light touch regime (Regulation 74) and is for DWP's sole use. Having migrated to the Atamis eProcurement Solution, DWP is reissuing the notice; online applications are currently suspended and a temporary offline process (via email) is in place while suppliers still register an Atamis account.
Key points
- Estimated overall DPS value GBP 250,000,000
- Light touch DPS for work-focused activities; sole use of DWP across England, Scotland and Wales
- Online applications suspended; apply offline by emailing cdfsf.adhocprocurement@dwp.gov.uk via Atamis
Who can bid
Any supplier wishing to provide work-focused activities may apply to join. Applicants must create an Atamis supplier account; because online applications are suspended, a temporary offline process applies (email request to receive the relevant information). The DPS is for the sole use of DWP.
How it is scored
