    "description": "The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure Work Focused Activities for Jobcentre Plus Districts in England, Scotland and Wales via the previous DWP eProcurement Solution (ePS).\r\n\r\nDWP has now migrated to a new ePS, Atamis and DWP are therefore reissuing this notice via the Atamis portal. However, please note that \u0027online\u0027 applications to join the FSF DPS 2 via the Atamis Portal are currently suspended and a temporary \u0027offline\u0027 process is in place, further details are below.\r\n\r\nThe DPS is for the procurement of social and other services referred to in Regulation 74 of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) and as such, the intention is to use a light touch regime, rather than the full regime described in Regulation 34 (Dynamic Purchasing System). The DPS is for the sole use of DWP.\r\n\r\nThe Flexible Support Fund Dynamic Purchasing System 2 - For the Provision of Work Focused Activities (FSF DPS 2) is the replacement for the DWP Dynamic Purchasing System for provision of work-focused activities known as the Flexible Support Fund DPS (FSF DPS). The FSF DPS expired on 31 October 2021 and was replaced by the FSF DPS 2 with effect from 1 November 2021.\r\n\r\nCurrently the \u0027online\u0027 application process is suspended, and a temporary \u0027offline\u0027 process is in operation. Any new supplier wishing to apply to join the FSF DPS 2 should send an email to cdfsf.adhocprocurement@dwp.gov.uk requesting to apply to join the FSF DPS 2, and the relevant information will be sent to you via email.\r\n\r\nAlthough DWP are currently operating an \u0027offline\u0027 process to join the FSF DPS 2, suppliers will still be required to create an account on Atamis. Suppliers can do this via the link below, which will take you to the DWP Atamis landing page. To ensure that the page functions correctly, you must accept browser cookies\r\n\r\nhttps://dwp2.my.site.com/s/Welcome\r\n\r\nFrom this landing page, new suppliers will be able to create an Atamis account by selecting the \"Supplier Registration Here\" button and following the on screen instructions. \r\n\r\nThe landing page also has a link to the Supplier Portal Help page, where you will find an article to help with registering for an account\r\n\r\nhttps://suppliersupport.atamis.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/4613254620319-Registering-with-a-Supplier-Portal\r\n\r\nEstimated overall value of this DPS will be \u00a3250,000,000.00\r\n\r\n\r\nAdditional Information\r\nAs of 1 January 2021, the internationally comparable regional geography for the UK is the International Territorial Levels (ITLs) geography.\r\n\r\nThis has replaced the Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) geographies for the UK that were operational when the UK was a member of the European Union. Please refer to the spreadsheet to see how the NUTS Code correspond to the ITL Codes at Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3.",
