All of our frameworks have been designed to deliver real impact to the communities we serve.
Highlights
- Shortened procurement time as the advertisement in OJEU and PQQ stage has already been undertaken
- The DPS encourages competition as suppliers can apply to get on the DPS during its period of validity
- Procuring organisations can develop their own specification, utilising pre-developed templates, to meet their own requirements and formulate their award criteria more precisely
- Award of individual contracts can be quicker than other procedures with the minimum time limit for return of tenders being 10 days
- Suppliers must meet minimum criteria to be awarded on the DPS
- A full suite of mini competition templates is available to ease the competition process, and the Hub can provide help and support in running mini competitions
