To establish a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS), the Council is required to undertake a three-stage process.
Stage 1: Establishing the PDPS -- The Council shall advertise the opportunity to be appointed to a PDPS for the provision of ISF Services. Applicants will have 30 days to respond accordingly to the opportunity during the initial establishment of the PDPS, in preparation for the provision of ISF services.
Stage 2: Once the PDPS goes live, applications can be submitted throughout the lifetime of the PDPS . Applications will be accessed quarterly (November, February, May and August)
Stage 3: Awarding of individual contracts
The person / individual (or their representative) can:
• Choose the Provider.
• Work with then Provider to use their ISF in a flexible way to meet outcomes and support needs.
• Use their ISF to pay for support from different organisations if they want to.
The services required under this procurement fall within schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) and are therefore not bound by all of its requirements.
