How a mini-competition works

● Buyer will provide suppliers with details of mini-competition in accordance with DPS Schedule 7 Order Procedure and Award Criteria.
● Suppliers will submit prices for order contracts, against staff roles and the grade structure set out in Annex 1 of DPS Schedule 1.
● Apply the Order Award Criteria to compliant tenders
● Award contract to successful supplier
How will I invite suppliers to my mini competition?
21
If a supplier is able to supply the services/roles required, you will invite them to bid. You must invite all eligible suppliers to bid
eSourcing Tools
The supplier should receive this invitation to bid from whichever procurement tool the buyer decides to use. We encourage you to run your mini competitions through the free CCS eSourcing tool.
