If selected, Service Providers will be eligible to bid for Services through mini-competitions issued under the DPS. The evaluation criteria for mini-competitions will be based on price only. NOTE: please disregard the section where the "contract start date" and "contract end date" are stated as 01/08/28 and 02/08/28 - this is a system error! Providers may apply to join the DPS by submitting a request to participate in the DPS at any point during the period of validity of the DPS. The period of validity of the DPS is 07/10/23 to 31/07/28. To submit a request to participate, providers must submit a completed SQ alongside the other documents referred to in the Invitation to Participate. Mini-competitions may be issued by the Council to providers appointed to the DPS at any time between 21/11/23 and 31/07/28. It is anticipated that the first mini-competition will be issued on or shortly after 21/11/23. The deadline for the receipt of Selection Questionnaires for Providers who wish to be eligible to submit a Bid in the first mini-competition will be 06/11/23.
