CSW - WCC Apprenticeship Training provision DPS

Warwickshire County Council invites applications from training providers, who are on the Skills Funding Agency's Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers, for admission to the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS).

The DPS has been established since 2017 and now has a revised period of validity until 30th April 2026. If you are interested in applying to join the DPS, you will need to:

The DPS Agreement is located in the DPS invitation to tender document. If you have apprenticeship training price details these can be uploaded with your application for information - the period of validity of prices should be stated.

The DPS is used for the provision of apprenticeship training services, to include independent delivery of end-point assessments. The DPS can be used for this purpose by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, Coventry City Council, Warwick District Council and, subject to authorisation by Warwickshire County Council, it can also be used by other Local Authorities in the West Midlands. Business opportunities will be made available to organisations admitted to the DPS either via direct award (criteria applies) or via a tender process. Where opportunities are tendered, all operators admitted to the DPS will be informed but it is not compulsory to bid for every opportunity offered.
