Apprenticeship DPS(Dynamic Purchasing System)

Milton Keynes Council wishes to invite applications for admission to Dynamic Purchasing System(DPS) in respect of the supply of Apprenticeship Services.. Funding for apprenticeships in England is accessed by Employers from central Government Funds since 6 April 2017. This is a drawdown of funds paid by Employers in the form of an 'Apprenticeship Levy', and other funding available in the form of 'Co-Investment'. For Co-Investment funds Employers also contribute to the costs directly from their own funds. Training Providers may apply to deliver either or both types of funded provision through the Approved Provider List. The DPS will be an approved provider list which will be based on the RoATP. The DPS will consist of sufficiently experienced and qualified Training Providers who can deliver education services to apprentices employed by public body organisations in England. DPS is being established pursuant to Regulation 74 of the Public Contracts Regulations. The procurement is being conducted under the Light Touch Regime ('LTR').
