    "description": "BIDDERS MUST NOTE THAT THIS IS A LIGHT TOUCH PROCUREMENT UNDERTAKEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATIONS 74 - 76 OF THE PUBLIC CONTRACTS REGULATIONS 2015, AND NOT A REGULATION 34 PROCUREMENT FOR A DYNAMIC PURCHASING SYSTEM.OR A REGULATION 28 RESTICTED PROCUREMENT.\r\n\r\nThe Ministry of Justice (the \"Authority\") is seeking to establish the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System (PEDPS) for the provision of education, Information, Advice and Guidance and resettlement services to those in custody in England. The PEDPS will operate with 17 Service Categories and 5 Geographical Locations. The number of Potential Suppliers appointed to the PEDPS is unlimited. The PEDPS will have an open end-date with no set duration and will run until the Authority decides to close it. The estimated spend for the first 6 years of the PEDPS is \u00a3210,000,000 (\u00a335 million per year). The PEDPS seeks to provide Governors with a flexible commissioning route for short to medium term needs up to one year, one-off requirements and services that support and complement the core educational offer in prisons. In particular, the Authority wants to access innovative approaches to custody education that deliver against the needs of specific cohorts of offenders and education and training that contributes to employment and/or wider rehabilitative outcomes. \r\n\r\nConnected to this is a desire to attract a broad range of suppliers to be part of the PEDPS, including, but not limited to, SMEs, further education colleges and higher education institutions, specialist training providers and third sector organisations. The PEDPS will have an Initial Selection Stage which will cover the first 30 days, up to Wednesday 17th October 2018 at 3pm and Potential Suppliers should aim to join during this period. Once the PEDPS has been established, the Ongoing Selection Stage will commence on Friday 9th November 2018. Potential Suppliers must visit the MoJ sourcing portal at https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk/ to register and for further detail and documents.",
