Crown Commercial Service (CCS) set up a dynamic purchasing system for an initial period of 48 months. The time limit for expressions of interest was extended to 1 July 2025 and this date has now been extended to 23 February 2029.
CCS is inviting bidders to request to participate for the Quality Assurance and Testing for IT Systems 2 DPS. This DPS will provide central government and wider public sector departments the opportunity to procure Quality Assurance and Testing services from a range of suppliers. The DPS filters are for services, location, clearance and scalability. If you are successfully appointed to the DPS you will be invited by customers (buyers) to submit tenders for relevant services through a competition. This DPS remains open for any supplier to request to participate throughout its 112 month duration.
CCS reserve the right to reduce, extend or terminate the DPS period at any time during its lifetime in accordance with the terms set out in the DPS Agreement.
The value in section II.1.5 has been increased in line with the extension of the period of validity.
