The brief

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority (“CPCA”) is establishing a dynamic purchasing system (“DPS”) to engage expertise in a range of areas to support the delivery of net zero finance initiatives.

This document provides a description of the types of services required, and what types of services are included within each DPS category.

CPCA’s ambition is to appoint Suppliers who will be considered by Buyers for a number of Call-Off Contracts.

This will enable those Buyers to have access to relevant skills, knowledge and experience in finance, legal services, procurement and other specialist fields.

The Suppliers will support the delivery of ambitious and high-profile net zero programmes while developing a base of knowledge and resources for the benefit of the wider public sector.
