Dynamic purchasing system (DPS): joining puts you on an approved list for future contracts. It's the entry ticket, not guaranteed work.

In plain English

The Department for Work and Pensions runs a list of approved suppliers (a dynamic purchasing system) for work-focused activities for Jobcentre Plus Districts across England, Scotland and Wales, and it is for DWP's use only. A place on it is the entry ticket to future work, not guaranteed work; the notice gives an estimated overall value of £250,000,000 and new suppliers apply by email while online applications are suspended.

Good fit for: Employment support, training or skills providers that help people back into work and want to be on DWP's approved supplier list.

The catch (with the notice's own words):
  • Online applications suspended; apply by email Any new supplier wishing to apply to join the FSF DPS 2 should send an email to cdfsf.adhocprocurement@dwp.gov.uk requesting to apply to join the FSF DPS 2
  • Must register an account on DWP's Atamis portal suppliers will still be required to create an account on Atamis

What the buyer says

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure Work Focused Activities for Jobcentre Plus Districts in England, Scotland and Wales via the previous DWP eProcurement Solution (ePS). DWP has now migrated to a new ePS, Atamis and DWP are therefore reissuing this notice via the Atamis portal.

The FSF DPS expired on 31 October 2021 and was replaced by the FSF DPS 2 with effect from 1 November 2021. Currently the 'online' application process is suspended, and a temporary 'offline' process is in operation. Any new supplier wishing to apply to join the FSF DPS 2 should send an email to [email address on the official notice] requesting to apply to join the FSF DPS 2, and the relevant information will be sent to you via email. Although DWP are currently operating an 'offline' process to join the FSF DPS 2, suppliers will still be required to create an account on Atamis. Suppliers can do this via the link below, which will take you to the DWP Atamis landing page. To ensur…
