In plain English
Warwickshire County Council is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to buy learning and organisational development services, training, staff development, and similar interventions. Suppliers who join can bid for work as opportunities come up over a 7-year period. The total estimated spend is between £7 million and £20 million.
What the buyer wants
• Provide learning and organisational development services (training, coaching, workshop delivery, capability building) to Warwickshire County Council and other local authorities • Self-declare which service areas you can deliver (the DPS is divided into Lots. You choose which ones you're qualified for) • Respond to individual tender calls as they are issued during the contract period
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a framework system, not a one-off contract. You won't win work until you're accepted onto the DPS and then bid individually for each opportunity. Most small training providers lack the track record, accreditations, or public sector experience councils typically demand. Mandatory registration on CSW-Jets is a barrier if you're not already set up there.
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.
