Crown Commercial Service is offering a dynamic purchasing system called Spark - The Technology Innovation Marketplace that enables central government and wider public sector departments to procure a range of innovative technology products and services. The DPS was set up for a 48-month period and uses four service filters—subject/problem area, delivery method (technology type), geographical location and security level—to help buyers find relevant suppliers; appointed suppliers are invited by customers to submit tenders through calls for competition. This notice advises the DPS has been extended until 15/11/2026 and, based on current spend profiling, there is no need to increase the total value.
