In plain English

The White Horse Federation, a schools trust in Swindon with 30 schools, is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to buy a wide range of commonly used goods and services from multiple suppliers. Schools and the trust will use this system to order items and services as needed, selecting from pre-approved suppliers across many categories.

What the buyer wants

• Register as an approved supplier in one or more service categories (covering goods and services from cleaning to IT to construction and many others) • Confirm which UK regions you can supply to • Declare any special capabilities you have, such as security clearance, ability to handle high-value contracts, or data security accreditations • Be ready to compete when the schools invite you to bid on specific orders

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a very broad framework covering 12 different categories (from goods like food and office supplies to specialist services like construction and IT): most small businesses will only qualify for one or two categories, so bid hours and success depend entirely on your specific trade; if you operate outside the listed UK regions or cannot meet basic insurance and compliance standards for schools, you will be rejected.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
