NHS LPP has developed a suite of template further competition documents for contracting authorities to utilize should they opt to do so.
It's important to note that suppliers can be added to a DPS throughout its lifespan. Therefore, if there's a supplier you wish to invite to participate in further competition but who isn't currently awarded on the DPS, they can apply to join by registering here and completing the online selection questionnaire (SQ).
Upon completion of the SQ, a supplier will typically be accepted within 10 working days, except in cases of new categories where a 30-day notice period is required before the evaluation of applications takes place.
