A contract award notice is required for each specific contract (call-off) under the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), although these may be grouped and sent quarterly, 30 days from the end of the quarter.

No: The Suppliers appointed to the DPS will already have proved their capability to fulfil the requirements of the DPS. You may, however, seek relevant information to demonstrate key personnel’s capabilities if they are directly involved in delivery of the DPS.

No; you must invite all the Suppliers who have been appointed to the DPS per Lot.

DPS stands for Dynamic Purchasing System.  A DPS is a procurement procedure that can be used by a contracting authority (buyer) to purchase commonly used goods, works and services.  For example, food, building works and cleaning services.  A DPS is usually set up by a central purchasing body (TUCO) and made available for use by the public sector (our membership).  It’s designed to provide buyers (our membership) with access to call-off from a pool of pre-qualified suppliers.
