Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is seeking suppliers for a Pan‑Government Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide adult learning and skills services that can be used by UK public sector organisations, including Combined Authorities, Devolved Administrations, Local Authorities, Education Establishments and Central Government Departments. The DPS will offer pre‑qualified regional and national providers to support procurements for education and training for adults (19+) and young adults (16–18) to help them develop skills for progression into or within work, or to prepare for apprenticeships and other tertiary qualifications. The agreement provides a route to market for available 16–18 and 19+ funding streams, including but not limited to the adult skills fund, UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Multiply, and covers future iterations or new funding types while excluding apprenticeship levy funding.
