Tender: Provision of Work-Focused Activities via Flexible Support Fund DPS 2 for Jobcentre Plus Districts – England, Scotland and Wales

About

The Department for Work and Pensions is seeking a supplier for the provision of work-focused activities through the Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 (FSF DPS 2) for Jobcentre Plus Districts in England, Scotland and Wales. This DPS, for the procurement of social and other services under Regulation 74, replaces the previous FSF DPS (expired 31 October 2021) and was implemented from 1 November 2021; it is for the sole use of DWP and operates under a light-touch regime. DWP has migrated its eProcurement Solution to Atamis and is reissuing this notice via the Atamis portal; however, the online application process is currently suspended and a temporary offline process is in place — new suppliers should email [email protected] to request application details. Suppliers are still required to create an Atamis account via the DWP Atamis landing page (https://dwp2.my.site.com/s/Welcome) and to accept browser cookies; the landing page also links to supplier registration help (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. As of 1 January 2021 the UK uses International Territorial Levels (ITLs) in place of NUTS geographies and a spreadsheet is provided to map NUTS to ITL codes.
