Since then over <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">260<\/span> suppliers have joined the DPS and this <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">number is growing every week<\/span>. Early on this year, it was great to see the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/public-procurement\/2018\/02\/09\/lift-off-for-dynamic-purchasing-system-dps\/\">first wave of call-off contracts being awarded<\/a>. It was also fantastic to see those contracts being awarded to SMEs.<\/p>\n<p>Closing the digital skills gap and supporting cyber resilience are some of our main digital aspirations. When creating the DPS, we originally set out to create a system that was SME friendly at the same time as being digitally agile. It\u2019s exciting to be nominated for the award but it\u2019s just as good to see our hard work come to fruition. Suppliers can continue to join the DPS at any time and build on the wealth of experience already available to public sector organisations looking for digital services solutions. This is only the beginning for the opportunities being made available by DPS for Digital Services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The collaborative ICT team has been nominated in the Innovation category.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":422,"featured_media":409,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[109,54,10,55,27,28],"tags":[75,121,65,57,146,120,31,111,145,144,35,143],"class_list":["post-404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dynamic-purchasing-system","category-ict","category-procurement-news","category-scottish-procurement","category-smes","category-suppliers","tag-cyber-resilience","tag-dps","tag-dynamic-purchasing-system","tag-ict","tag-innovation","tag-procurement","tag-public-procurement","tag-public-sector","tag-skills","tag-sme","tag-suppliers","tag-world-procurement-awards"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
