## Description
The Dynamic Purchase System has been established on behalf of UK public sector bodies who have a need for the provision of data access services, to facilitate connectivity to the Health and Social Care Network (HSCN) and additional network services. Non public sector entities may also use the DPS Agreement in order to (i) satisfy contractual obligations to one or more public sector bodies, all of which are entitled to use the DPS on their own account; or (ii) deliver Health and/or Social Care services to benefit the public. Successful bidders will be required to meet the published criteria including HSCN Compliance to be appointed to the DPS.  Suppliers will also be asked to confirm whether they are capable of offering Public Services Network (PSN) compliant services, although this is not mandatory.
Suppliers who are successfully appointed to the DPS will be invited to submit tenders by Contracting Bodies through a Call for Competition.
