In plain English
YPO is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), an open framework where software and systems providers can join at any time to provide critical incident management and public safety software to the UK public sector. This is a massive procurement worth £50-500 million over 5 years, starting February 2024.
What the buyer wants
• Provide critical incident management software and systems (tools for handling emergencies and public safety) • Be ready to respond to individual call-off contracts from public sector organisations who access this framework • Meet public sector security, compliance, and operational standards for emergency response systems
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract will almost certainly disqualify small traditional trades (builders, electricians, cleaners). It's exclusively for software and systems providers with proven expertise in critical incident management, significant security certifications, and the infrastructure to support major public sector deployments.
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.
