(DM) for Goods And Services To Drive Economical, Social And Governance Impact And Improvement DPS
Framework Description
The White Horse Federation, a 30-school academy trust based in Swindon, runs this continuously open dynamic purchasing arrangement for commonly used goods and services that drive economic, social and governance impact. Suppliers register the service categories (by CPV code) and UK regions (by NUTS code) they cover. It runs until 31 March 2036, and suppliers can apply for admission at any time.
Context & Use Case
When the trust needs goods or services, it filters admitted suppliers by category and region, and by optional capabilities such as security clearance, contract value range and data security standards, then invites the shortlist to a competition. This lets its schools buy everyday requirements from suppliers that fit its impact-driven procurement principles.
Scope of Services

Who Can Apply
Suits suppliers of everyday goods and services to schools, including SMEs and local firms, that can show social, economic or governance impact. It is open now: suppliers can register at any time until 31 March 2036 and stay eligible for future competitions.
Buyer Benefits
The trust can run quick, compliant competitions for routine purchases without a separate tender each time, and the filters let it target suppliers by region and capability. Its impact focus means it values suppliers who bring social value, local benefit and good governance alongside price.
