The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is seeking a supplier for the Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 (FSF DPS 2) to provide work-focused activities for Jobcentre Plus districts across England, Scotland and Wales. The DPS is a light-touch procurement route for social and other services (Regulation 74) for sole use by DWP and replaced the previous FSF DPS on 1 November 2021 (the previous system expired 31 October 2021). DWP has migrated to a new eProcurement platform (Atamis); online applications to join the FSF DPS 2 are currently suspended and a temporary offline process is in place—new suppliers should email [email protected] to request application information. Suppliers are still required to create an Atamis account via the DWP Atamis landing page (https://dwp2.my.site.com/s/Welcome) and may need to accept browser cookies; a registration help article is available at https://suppliersupport.atamis.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/4613254620319-Registering-with-a-Supplier-Portal. The estimated overall value of this DPS is £250,000,000.00. Note: as of 1 January 2021 the UK uses International Territorial Levels (ITLs) in place of NUTS for regional geography; a spreadsheet shows code correspondences.

This could be ideal for suppliers of social and employment support services experienced in delivering work-focused activities to Jobcentre Plus districts across England, Scotland and Wales. Key considerations include the temporary offline application process (email-based) while Atamis online applications are suspended, the requirement to create an Atamis account and accept browser cookies, and that the DPS operates under a light-touch regime for sole use by DWP.
