Create and manage your Dynamic Market
Create and manage your Dynamic Market
A Dynamic Market (formerly DPS) is a flexible tool used to purchase goods, works, and services. Unlike a framework, a Dynamic Market allows you to add new suppliers and services at any time – meaning your opportunity remains adaptable and dynamic.
To get started on creating a Dynamic Market, follow these steps:
Log in to Cimple
Navigate to your dashboard by clicking 'Buyers' in the top-navigation bar, then select 'Buyer Dashboard'
Click the box in the middle of the left-hand sidebar labelled ‘Create Opportunity’
Go to the Create a Dynamic Market tab. Click ‘Select’ and then ‘Start Opportunity Creation’
Fill out Competition Details and Click next step
Decide whether to include the Standard Selection Questionnaire (SQ) to collect supplier information. This is optional to include
The next step would be to add further questions, this can be technical or social– create and add as many questions as needed, and make sure to include the format that you’d like the response to be given in (i.e. text response, yes-no answer or attachment only)
Set Dynamic Market Filters
Choose filters to help shortlist suppliers and streamline your selection process.\
Review and finalise all your details
Click ‘Publish Opportunity’
Note: Under step 6, some supplier data may soon be automatically pulled from the Central Digital Platform after the integration is completed.
