Adult Skills and Learning DPS

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as the Authority intends to put in place a Pan Government Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to support the provision of Adult Learning and Skills requirements that can be utilised by all public sector organisations, for example, Combined Authorities, Devolved Administrations, Local Authorities, Education Establishments and Central Government Departments. The new agreement will offer a range of pre-qualified regional and national providers to support UK public sector bodies in running procurements for Adult Learning and Skills provisions.

CCS will be creating a supply market that enables the procurement of education and training for adults (aged 19 years and above) and young adults (aged 16 to 18) to help them develop the skills they require to progress into, or within, work; or to equip them for an apprenticeship and/or other tertiary qualifications. The new agreement will provide a route to market for all available 16 to 18 and 19+ funding streams, including but not limited to the adult skills fund, UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Multiply, any future iterations of existing funding types, any future funding types. However, it excludes apprenticeship levy funding. .
