CURRENTLY SUSPENDED to allow DWP to migrate to a new eProcurement System FSF Dynamic Purchasing System 2 - For the Provision of Work Focused Activities. Project_23908

PLEASE NOTE The FSF DPS 2 is currently closed for new applications until September 2025. This is to allow DWP to migrate to a new eProcurement System (eps). The FSF DPS 2 will re-open in September on the new eps, and further details on how to apply will be published in due course. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) intends to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure Work Focused Activities in Jobcentre Plus Districts in England, Scotland and Wales. The DPS is for the procurement of social and other services referred to in Regulation 74 of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) and as such, the intention is to use a light touch regime, rather than the full regime described in Regulation 34 (Dynamic Purchasing System). The DPS is for the sole use of DWP. The Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 - For the Provision of Work Focused Activities (FSF DPS 2) is the replacement for the DWP Dynamic Purchasing System for provision of work-focused activities known as the Flexible Support Fund DPS (FSF DPS). Estimated overall value of this DPS will be £250,000,000.00 *** *** *** ADDENDUMS 12/09/24 - The new regulations will now come into effect on 24 February 25. 27/08/24 - The Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 (FSF DPS 2) is due to expire September 25 and as per the 'Transforming Public Procurement - Communication Note' issued on 19 February 24, the new "Procurement Regulation 24" will come into effect for any new frameworks/ DPS in October 24. For DWP to fully understand the implications and implementation of the new Procurement Act Regulations, we have taken the decision to extend the current FSF DPS 2 (per Regulation 34 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("PCR 2015"), Regulation 34(28)). The extension period for the FSF DPS2 will be from 20 September 25 up to 30 September 28. However, as per Para 14.2 of the Core Terms, DWP reserve the right to terminate the FSF DPS 2 earlier. It is highly anticipated that this right will be exercised in due course to create a "Dynamic Market" under the new regulations. DWP will ensure that those suppliers accredited onto the FSF DPS 2 will be given advance notice of any change, but until such time, the FSF DPS 2 will continue to run as normal and any supplier wishing to apply to join, should follow the guidance issued. Additional information: ADDENDUM 12 SEPTEMBER 2024 The new regulations will now come into effect on 24 February 2025 ADDENDUM 27 AUGUST 2024 As per the 'Transforming Public Procurement - Communication Note' issued on 19 February 2024, the new "Procurement Regulation 2024" will come into effect for any new frameworks / DPS in October 2024. The Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 (FSF DPS 2) is due to expire September 2025 and for DWP to fully understand the implications and implementation of the new Procurement Act Regulations, we have taken the decision to extend the current FSF DPS 2 (per Regulation 34 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("PCR 2015"), Regulation 34(28)). The extension period for the FSF DPS2 will be from 20 September 2025 up to 30 September 2028. However, as per Para 14.2 of the Core Terms, DWP reserve the right to terminate the FSF DPS 2 earlier than the 30 September 2028. It is highly anticipated that this right will be exercised in due course to create a "Dynamic Market" under the new regulations. DWP will ensure that those suppliers accredited onto the FSF DPS 2 will be given advance notice of any change, but until such time, the FSF DPS 2 will continue to run as normal and any supplier wishing to apply to join, should follow the guidance issued. *** *** *** As of 1 January 2021, the internationally comparable regional geography for the UK is the International Territorial Levels (ITLs) geography.
