The brief

This notice is being used to inform the market of WMCA Technical Education, Skills and Employment Support Flexible Procurement System Update Webinar.

WMCA have opted to establish an FPS under the Light Touch Regime rules, within the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR, 2015) to deliver our Technical Education, Skills and Employment Support services provision.

An FPS is an overarching agreement that allows FPS Providers who are admitted onto it to subsequently compete for Call-off Contracts through further competitions.

It operates in a similar way to a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) but will have set windows for evaluation of Applications to join.

This will allow WMCA to continually expand our network of providers and welcome new FPS Providers that are able to meet our requirements for the duration of the FPS.

Join us for an online update on the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) Flexible Procurement System (FPS) before its reopening in January.

This webinar will provide skills providers with the latest information and what you need to do to prepare for the reopening.

Date- Thursday 18th December Time- 2-3pm Location- Online.

Teams link will be emailed to those who register.
