## Description

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, is looking to establish a Light Touch Dynamic Purchasing System \(DPS\) to procure provision of short break activities for disabled children and young people\. A DPS offers a flexible and responsive approach to commissioning and purchasing which we believe would improve the existing arrangements for short breaks\. The DPS is a "live" list of approved operators\. The DPS will be advertised via YORtender system, and providers can complete a simple on-line application process using the YORtender portal\. All providers who meet and pass the exclusion and selection criteria will be admitted to the DPS\. Successful operators will be advised that they are on the DPS\. Please note this DPS will run from December 2020 for 3 years with an option to extend for 24 months \(2 x12\)\.
