Non-Clinical Systems Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)
The Non-Clinical Systems DPS offers authorities the ability to purchase solutions from a range of market providers and categories.
It has been structured to provide a route to market to procure a very broad range of systems that the NHS and wider public sector currently use.
As this is a DPS, the current categories in scope can be added to over time, as can the list of awarded suppliers.
The DPS offers further competition as a procurement method which can be administered in two ways, full further competition for more complex requirements, or the Supplier Selection Tool for less complex requirements, to be awarded on price alone.
Benefits of using the Framework
- PCR15 Compliant route to market. The DPS has been awarded in compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and therefore all call-off agreements awarded under the DPS are also PCR15 compliant
- Free to access. All NOE CPC frameworks are free to access for all members and non-members across the NHS and other in-scope areas of the public sector
- Contract direct with the system vendor. The Non-Clinical Systems DPS has been designed to provide a compliant route direct to the supplier market. Suppliers with the capability to transact directly with the NHS and wider public sector can bid for a position on the DPS under their chosen categories, thereby reducing supply chain costs and improving supplier management outcomes
- Simple shortlisting and Supplier Sourcing Tool* process. The DPS provides an online tool via the NOE CPC website for the shortlisting of suppliers for your specific sub-category and requirements. This shortlist can then either be taken offline and suppliers invited to bid via your own procurement system, or, for less complex requirements, you can use our tool to obtain quotes from shortlisted suppliers
- Allows for introduction of new suppliers and categories. The DPS is a flexible and fluid route to market as it allows new suppliers to bid and join throughout its lifespan. The DPS also allows for the introduction of new categories of system so it can evolve with changes in the technology market. If you wish to access a supplier or category that isn’t currently listed, please get in touch and we can consider this for inclusion.
