What is being bought10 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe Association of North East Councils Limited trading as the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for External Training. The resulting solution will provide Contracting Authorities with access to a diverse range of Providers capable of providing Training services across a wide range of disciplines.
The future DPS will directly replace the existing NEPO514 External Training Provision solution, which expires on 31 January 2024.
The Solution is being established as a 'Dynamic Purchasing System' (DPS) using a flexible approach based on the concept of Regulation 34 via Schedule 3, under the principles set out in Regulation 74-77 ('The Light Touch Regime').
The opportunity can be accessed via the Open eTendering system. Suppliers wishing to be considered for this DPS must register their expression of interest and submit a request to participate through the Open eTendering system. If not already registered, suppliers should register on the Open system at www.open-uk.org ↗.
Requests to Participate must be submitted using the link above. Requests to Participate submitted via postal or email methods will not be accepted.
If you require time-critical assistance from the Open Support Team, this can be requested via open.support@nepo.org.
PLEASE NOTE: Open is accessible 24/7 however, technical support is available Monday - Thursday 08:30 - 17:00 and Friday 08:30 - 16:30.
If you need some guidance on how to submit your response through Open, please visit www.open-hub.org/training ↗ to access the available Training Guides.
NEPO makes no guarantee that any orders will be placed under the DPS by NEPO or any of the Contracting Authorities.
