In plain English
Dudley Council is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (an open framework) to find service providers for nine different programmes funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Multiply scheme. You can apply to join and bid for any of the lots that match your services, the framework stays open until May 2027.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver services across one or more of nine themes: town centre regeneration, local discovery initiatives, culture/heritage support, community capacity building, digital inclusion, business support (pre-startup/startup/growth), support for established businesses, employment/skills/training interventions, or adult numeracy training (Multiply) • Meet the specific requirements of whichever lot(s) you apply for (full details in the project description document) • Be ready to respond to individual call-offs from the council when they issue tenders under this framework
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
No single universal disqualifier, eligibility depends entirely on which service lot you target. However, if you cannot demonstrate prior experience delivering the specific type of service (business support, training, community work, digital inclusion, etc.) for the lot you apply for, you will struggle. Check each lot carefully; Service Lot 5 (Digital Inclusion) is only described in the full project document, not the summary.
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.
