Apply to a DPS or Framework

A DPS is similar to a framework, but suppliers can be added to the project at any time, meaning extra flexibility for both suppliers and buyers. If, as a supplier, you’re looking specifically for a DPS opportunity, seeking one out is easy.

1. Log in to Cimple

2. Navigate to your dashboard by clicking 'Suppliers' along the top-navigation bar and then click on 'Supplier dashboard'

3. In the left hand column, click through to ‘All opportunities’

4. In the search bar, type ‘DPS’ and press ‘enter’

5. A list of DPS specific opportunities should appear

6. Click the purple ‘View detail’ box on a tender you’re interested in

7. A box will pop up detailing all you need to know about the opportunity including dates, deadlines, duration, the evaluation weighting and a little about the buyer.

8. Click ‘Apply’ and you’ll follow one of these two steps:

• Complete and submit your application on the Cimple platform

• If the opportunity wasn’t created on Cimple, you’ll be taken to Contracts Finder where you can find all the details you need to complete your application
