Extension of existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for External Print Services

What the buyer is asking for

This is an extension for the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for External Print Service contracts. The Authority is extending the validity of its existing DPS for a further 29 month period starting from 1 October 2026 until 23 February 2029. Please note that organisations can apply to join the Council's DPS at any time during its validity if they satisfy the selection criteria and none of the grounds for exclusion apply. If an organisation admitted to the DPS ceases to satisfy the Council's selection requirements it is likely that it may be excluded or suspended from taking part in any competition. If an admitted organisation fails one of the grounds for exclusion during the validity of the DPS the Council may be required to remove the supplier from the DPS. For previous information regarding this DPS, please refer to the original Contract Notice, reference 2021/S 000-013361, url: https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013361-2021? For the avoidance of doubt, those providers that are already on the existing DPS do not need to respond to this contract notice as they are already admitted.
