FSF Dynamic Purchasing System 2 For the Provision of Work Focused Activities
Department for Work and Pensions · deadline 23 February 2029 · Not stated
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. However, please note that 'online' applications to join the FSF DPS 2 via the Atamis Portal are currently suspended and a temporary 'offline' process is in place, further details are below. The DPS is for the procurement of social and other services referred to in Regulation 74 of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) and as such, the intention is to use a light touch regime, rather than the full regime described in Regulation 34 (Dynamic Purchasing System). The DPS is for the sole use of DWP. The Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 - For the Provision of Work Focused Activities (FSF DPS 2) is the replacement for the DWP Dynamic Purchasing System for provision of work-focused activities known as the Flexible Support Fund DPS (FSF DPS). 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 cdfsf.adhocprocurement@dwp.gov.uk requesting to apply to join the FSF DPS 2, and the relevant information will be sent to you via email.
