Grant Fund Manager Dynamic Purchasing System

The Scottish Government has established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Grant Fund Managers. Potential participants must

complete the SPD (Single Procurement Document) and meet the minimum entry criteria to participate on the DPS.

The Scottish Government has established a Dynamic Purchasing System (NOV492909) to provide grant fund manager services to a range of grants.

The key service requirement will the administration and distribution of grant funds and associated pre and post funding activities. Suppliers

will also be expected to make all necessary arrangements to ensure that the full value of available funding is appropriately spent in each

financial year, provide the required Management Information (MI) as requested by the Scottish Government, ensure suitable staff are

trained and qualified in service delivery as well as having arrangements in place to ensure that all information held shall be securely and

sensitively managed. Full detailed requirements will be contained within each call off tender documentation.

No form of volume guarantee has been granted and the Authority shall not be bound to order any of the services.

Please note that the forecast value of the DPS is based on the value of the fund manager services, not the value of the grant funds.

(PCS-T project code 25336) (PQQ Code 6322)

Please note that the anticipated value of the DPS is based on the value of the fund manager services and not the value of the grant funds.

We envisage that the value of the call-off contracts (and the grant funds to be managed) to range from thousands to multi millions however,

no form of volume guarantee has been granted by the Authority.

If your application to join the DPS is successful, you will have the opportunity to bid for the Call-off contracts with effect from that point.

Call-offs under the DPS will be issued electronically via PCS-t, however, for those who do not use PCS-t, alternative electronic routes may

be used and are acceptable.

The DPS will be available for use by the Scottish Ministers (including Agencies).

The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this PQQ exercise. The Project code is 25336. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343
