In plain English
The Department for Work and Pensions is running an open supplier list (called a Dynamic Purchasing System) to find organizations to test new ideas and approaches for helping people into employment and improving their health. They're looking for innovative providers, especially local specialists, to run small pilot projects and proof-of-concept work across England, Scotland, and Wales.
What the buyer wants
• Develop and deliver new, innovative approaches to employment and health-related support • Run small-scale test and learn pilot projects to gather evidence on what works • Provide local specialist support and services focused on employment and health outcomes
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is not a guaranteed contract, DWP explicitly states they cannot confirm or guarantee any future business, and only anticipate 'limited numbers' of small pilot projects, so most bidders will join the supplier list without securing actual work.
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.
