Modified Dynamic Purchasing System for Apprenticeship Training Providers
Lincolnshire County Council · Local authority
In brief
Lincolnshire County Council has announced plans to buy training and education work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.
It is a framework worth up to £20,000,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.
The contract runs for 10 years, starting 4 March 2028.
The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.
Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Competition
Usually high: a median of 7 bids per contract for this buyer (from 37 awards in the last 12 months).
Dynamic purchasing system
Suppliers join a list the buyer can call on. You can usually apply at any time while it is open, and work is awarded later through smaller competitions between members.
