About

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is seeking suppliers through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure employment and health-related test and learn services across England, Scotland and Wales. The Test and Learn DPS, established on 9 November 2018 under a light-touch regime, has been extended by 29 months and now has a nominal end date of 23 February 2029; the DWP may terminate the DPS with twenty (20) working days' notice. The DPS is a Contract Notice for social and specific services under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and is aimed at organisations offering innovative and local specialist support to test and develop new approaches for employment and health activity. DWP cannot guarantee future business but anticipates a limited number of proof of concept/test and learn projects over the DPS duration, with an expected total value of all call-off contracts of approximately £20,000,000 for use by DWP, its Executive Agencies and sponsored NDPBs.
