Description

The Department for Science Innovation and Technology will shortly be going to market for the Services detailed below an in the supporting attachment.

Prior to this procurement being launched, we want to provide interested suppliers with the indicative scope, and where interested, the opportunity to provide responses to the questions contained within the supporting attachment which will help to ensure that our specification contains all necessary detail to allow bidders to respond.

Background

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) works to accelerate innovation, investment and productivity through world-class science, ensure that new and existing technologies are safely developed and deployed across the UK and drive forward a modern digital government for the benefit of its citizens.

These goals, like many of the shared goals of government, requires robust scientific research and advice to enable greater evidence-based decision-making.

Therefore, DSIT is proposing a new Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for government to more effectively procure a range of scientific services from specialist suppliers. The intention is to allow policy teams working across government departments and Arms-Length Bodies (ALBs) the opportunity to access cutting-edge research, scientific advice and services from relevant experts to support delivery of government aims.
