Dynamic Purchasing System for Apprenticeships

North East Lincolnshire Council is inviting providers to become members of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) specifically designed for the procurement of apprenticeship training programmes. This will replace the former DPS for Apprenticeship Training Programmes (DN311727) that concluded on 15 January 2022. By joining the new system, training providers will be able to participate in recurring competitions for apprenticeships awarded by the Council, and the Council may also use the DPS on behalf of Academy Schools situated within the North East Lincolnshire area.

The DPS will operate for a maximum of eight years, though the Council reserves the right to terminate the system after a period of 48 months should the need for its continuity change. A single initial deadline of thirty days after publication is set for requests to participate, after which providers may submit participation requests at any time while the DPS remains active. Once admitted, providers will compete for individual apprenticeship contracts whenever the Council initiates a further competition, with each contract’s commencement date and duration determined at the time of award. The procurement is structured as a recurrent system, with no options or variant clauses permitted.

The estimated value of the contract is £1,920,000.00 excluding VAT, and the procurement will be conducted entirely in English through the e‐tender portal https://yortender.eu-supply.com/. No variants or options are allowed, with all requests for participation and clarifications directed to the designated online platform. The contract will run for eight years, subject to early termination after forty‑eight months if necessary.
