Public Health Dorset, in discussion with procurement colleagues in Dorset County Council, believe that a new type of contracting system – the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) – which allows for longer term contracts, but also has increased flexibility within it, would allow Pubic Health Dorset to meet public service regulations and also bring benefit to Community Providers.

Public Health Dorset held two evening events with community. The presentations and information made available at these events were as follows:-

• Community Based Health Improvement Services Summary
• Community Based Health Improvement Services Presentation
• Guide to Consortia Working
• Supplier Registration for E Tendering Guide
• Supplier Self-Registration for Tendering

This information is also available on the Public Health Dorset Website
