July 22, 2026 by Scottish Procurement No Comments | Category Procurement news, Scottish Procurement

The Internet of Things (IoT) – Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) has been extended until 17 September 2027.

The DPS is an electronic process, suppliers can apply to join the DPS at any time and there is no limit on the number of suppliers on the DPS.

Suppliers wishing to join should register with PCS and PCS-Tender. The OJEU contract notice will remain open throughout the lifetime of the DPS.

Contracts will be awarded via call-offs, issued by Scottish public sector organisations through the DPS, inviting suppliers to tender for in scope services.

This DPS offers the Scottish public sector a route to market for IoT technologies and services. Due to the wide and diverse nature of IoT, it is not possible to list all categories of technologies in scope.

Data management

Subscription and connectivity management

Including subscription lifecycle management, stand-alone (on-demand) connectivity, interoperability and connectivity performance management.

Application enablement and management

Software that enables business applications in any deployment model to analyse data and accomplish IoT-related business functions.
