The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) will launch a new Dynamic Purchasing System for Vehicle Conversion services on August 24, 2017, and businesses can sign up now.

Dynamic Purchasing Systems allow unlimited numbers of suppliers to sign up for access to public sector opportunities, and involve less labour-intensive design and application processes.

The DPS makes use of existing systems for supplier registration and completion of selection questionnaires, allowing suppliers to reuse their company information for future applications and self-certify their status until the point of contract award.

The first DPS is for Vehicle Conversions - helping public bodies to make savings when converting vehicles for operational use. This ranges from simple vehicle signage or internal storage, to full conversion into emergency vehicles or specialist communications equipment.

They can use an online search function to identify suppliers offering services and specialism they require. Search filters include geographic location (of the customer), customer sector, vehicle type, service types (including conversion, decommissioning and design), and detailed products.

Vehicle Conversions DPS is a replacement for CCS’s Vehicle Conversion and Reconditioning Services Framework (RM956).
