What the buyer wants
Warwickshire County Council is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for employability and skills services over a 4-year period, with an estimated value of £60 million. Suppliers must register on the council's e-procurement portal to participate and may bid on individual opportunities as they arise.
The Dynamic Purchasing System will be used for the provision of employability and skills services.
The period of validity of the DPS will be 56 months from commencement.
Once a Supplier has successfully completed their application to the DPS, suppliers will be advised of the opportunities available as and when they arise. Suppliers can then choose whether they want to bid for the requirement or not (it is not compulsory to bid for every opportunity offered, and all suppliers within the DPS approved Supplier list will be informed of the opportunity, but can choose whether or not to bid on an individual basis).
Tender opportunities are likely to be offered either via an electronic auction (e-auction) exercise or via an electronic quote mechanism (currently In-Tend).
Estimated value excluding VAT: £60,000,000.00
In order to submit an application to the DPS and bid for call-off's as and when they arise, you will need to register as a Supplier on our e-procurement portal, CSW-Jets (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/csw-jets/aspx/Home).
Additional information: Warwickshire County Council will be using its e-tendering system (In-Tend) for the administration of this procurement process and providers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.

Registration and use of In-Tend is free. Once registered, all correspondence for this procurement process must be via the in-tend correspondence function. However, if you are unable to register with the website please email us at procurement@warwickshire.gov.uk
During the course of the contract period the range and scope of these services may be subject to modification and variation to meet the changing needs and requirements of the Council, potential changes in legislation and the changing demands placed on the Council by its customers.
How Tenderoo reads it
This is a dynamic purchasing system (a dynamic market under the Procurement Act): suppliers can apply to join at any point while it runs, and work is awarded in rounds to the members. A missed deadline is not the end of it.
The notice reads as suitable for a small or medium-sized firm: the scope, value and requirements are within reach of a business of that size.
