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').
