Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) Apprenticeship Training Providers and Associated Training

Nottinghamshire County Council is seeking to establish a provider list, using a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) of Apprenticeship Training Providers and Associated Training as detailed in the specification. By using a DPS the Council wants to ensure that all qualified Providers have the opportunity to submit responses to Invitation to Tender let under the training categories listed. Under a DPS Providers will be able to submit their application at any point in time whilst the list is in operation and these applications will be evaluated periodically.

It is a mandatory requirement that Providers are listed on EFSA’s Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers (RoATP) to deliver apprenticeship training . The DPS split into a number of categories, which match the apprenticeship training categories issued nationally:

Agriculture, Environmental and Animal Care Business and Administration Care Services Catering and Hospitality Construction Creative and Design Digital Education and Childcare Engineering and Manufacturing Hair and Beauty Health and Science Legal, Finance and Accounting Protective Services Sales, Marketing and Procurement Transport and Logistics

Applicants to the DPS can apply, and be subsequently listed on one, multiple and all categories depending on their capabilities.
