Dynamic Purchasing System for External Training

Description

The 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 https://www.open-uk.org/ (https://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 https://www.open-hub.org/training (https://www.openhub.org/training) to access the available Training Guides. NEPO does not give any guarantee and/or warrant the actual value of orders (if any) which will be placed with the successfully appointed Suppliers by any Contracting Authority using the Dynamic Purchasing System pursuant to this process and accepts no liability thereof.
