What is being bought

The Association of North East Councils Limited trading as the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for External Training. The resulting solution will provide Contracting Authorities with access to a diverse range of Providers capable of providing Training services across a wide range of disciplines. The future DPS will directly replace the existing NEPO514 External Training Provision solution, which expires on 31 January 2024. The Solution is being established as a 'Dynamic Purchasing System' (DPS) using a flexible approach based on the concept of Regulation 34 via Schedule 3, under the principles set out in Regulation 74-77 ('The Light Touch Regime'). The opportunity can be accessed via the Open eTendering system. Suppliers wishing to be considered for this DPS must register their expression of interest and submit a request to participate through the Open eTendering system. If not already registered, suppliers should register on the Open system at https://www.open-uk.org/. Requests to Participate must be submitted using the link above. Requests to Participate submitted via postal or email methods will not be accepted. If you require time-critical assistance from the Open Support Team, this can be requested via open.support@nepo.org. PLEASE NOTE: Open is accessible 24/7 however, technical support is available Monday - Thursday 08:30 - 17:00 and Friday 08:30 - 16:30. If you need some guidance on how to submit your response through Open, please visit https://www.open-hub.org/training to access the available Training Guides. NEPO makes no guarantee that any orders will be placed under the DPS by NEPO or any of the Contracting Authorities.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Training services (80500000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 806,6562 median · 47.9 average (3,113 of 6,656 with a bid count)3.2 average (3,415 of 6,656 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Same buyer0Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UK2,7711 median · 22.1 average (1,595 of 2,771 with a bid count)2.2 average (1,755 of 2,771 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1943 median · 3 average (2 of 194 with a bid count)1 average (2 of 194 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

The resulting solution will provide Contracting Authorities with access to a diverse range of Providers capable of providing Training services across a wide range of disciplines.\nThe future DPS will directly replace the existing NEPO514 External Training Provision solution, which expires on 31 January 2024.\nThe Solution is being established as a 'Dynamic Purchasing System' (DPS) using a flexible approach based on the concept of Regulation 34 via Schedule 3, under the principles set out in Regulation 74-77 ('The Light Touch Regime'). \nThe opportunity can be accessed via the Open eTendering system. Suppliers wishing to be considered for this DPS must register their expression of interest and submit a request to participate through the Open eTendering system. If not already registered, suppliers should register on the Open system at https://www.open-uk.org/. \nRequests to Participate must be submitted using the link above.  Requests to Participate submitted via postal or email methods will not be accepted. \nIf you require time-critical assistance from the Open Support Team, this can be requested via open.support@nepo.org.\nPLEASE NOTE: Open is accessible 24/7 however, technical support is available Monday - Thursday 08:30 - 17:00 and Friday 08:30 - 16:30.\nIf you need some guidance on how to submit your response through Open, please visit https://www.open-hub.org/training to access the available Training Guides.\nNEPO makes no guarantee that any orders will be placed under the DPS by NEPO or any of the Contracting Authorities.",

    "description": "NEPO is seeking to establish a Pseudo DPS for External Training Provision. The existing NEPO Framework will expire 31st January 2024. It is anticipated the future iteration will also operate as a multi-disciplinary Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and will be available to both NEPO Member Authorities and Contracting Authorities nationally.\nThe Solution will be procured as a 'Pseudo DPS' using a flexible approach based on the concept of Regulation 34 via Schedule 3, under the principles set out in Regulation 74-77 ('The Light Touch Regime').\nThe purpose of the prior information notice (PIN) is to provide advance notice to the marketplace for the future opportunity and the intentions of NEPO to hold a market consultation meeting with suppliers to help shape the future framework agreement. NEPO are not advertising this PIN as a mechanism to reduce future procurement timescales.\nNEPO intends to publish a soft market testing questionnaire via the Open eTendering system. The questionnaire will be used to assess interest in the tendering opportunity and to gain information and insight from the market to help shape the future NEPO514 Framework Agreement design. The soft market testing questionnaire will be made accessible via the Open eTendering system on Wednesday 9th August 2023 with a submission deadline of 12 p.m. on Monday 21st August 2023.\nSuppliers wishing to access and complete the soft market testing questionnaire must first register on the eTendering system using the following link https://www.open-uk.org\nGuidance for how to create an account, search for opportunities and respond are included within the Supplier's Hub. If you require further support, please email open.support@nepo.org.\nIn addition, NEPO intends to hold a group market consultation meeting. The Group Market consultation meeting is advertised openly via this PIN and will take place on Tuesday 22nd August 2023. Suppliers wishing to register attendance must do so by registering via this link https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/nepo514-external-training-provision-market-engagement-tickets-691669280437?aff=oddtdtcreator no later than 12 p.m. on Monday 21st August 2023. The group Market Consultation will be no longer than 60 minutes and NEPO intend to conduct this session virtually through online meeting platform applications. NEPO anticipates this virtual meeting session will take place via Microsoft Teams or alternative online platforms.\nAttendance at market consultation is optional and does not provide suppliers with an advantage in any future related procurement. Attendance also does not constitute as an intention to tender for any future related procurement. Please note the above dates may be subject to change depending on availability and supplier uptake.",
