4. Hello, the "READ FIRST RM6242 - DPS Needs_v1.0" file states that there are some N/A questions specifically relating to example contracts in the SQ. Do we leave these blank for now? Or if they are required, which specific type of project examples do you want to see? Thank you.
CCS can confirm that questions 133, 134 and 135 of the Standard Questionnaire (SQ) are not applicable for the Construction Professional Services DPS and that Suppliers should not complete these questions. Suppliers are instead required to complete questions 56 to 62 of the DPSQ to provide details of their Contract Example(s).

3. We are a SME business and we do not have Cyber Essential Certification and will therefore we will select No to this question. We are looking to get this certification and was wondering if this question is a pass or fail?
CCS can confirm that any supplier wishing to be be appointed to this DPS must hold the Cyber Essentials certification at the point of application. A Supplier without this certification will be rejected from the DPS.

2. Can you advise if the terms and conditions are common inline with other CCS DPS terms
The Terms and Conditions that govern the overarching DPS Agreement between an appointed supplier and CCS are generally common in line with other CCS DPS Terms under the (PSC) Public Sector Contract. However, there are additions to the Joint Schedule 1-Definitions, DPS schedule 6 Order Form, DPS schedule 7 Order Procedure and DPS Core Terms, to incorporate several Industry Standard Contracts at Further Competition stage (eg NEC3, NEC4 and JCT), for Buyer use. Suppliers must ensure they understand and commit to Terms under RM6242 and not assume they are the same as as other CCS DPS Terms.

1. Good afternoon,
We are interested in applying for this DPS, however we note the wide range of services required. Is it compulsory for us to supply all of these services or can we provide Architecture and Interior Design only?
Thank you
The DPS is set up specifically to cover niche, specialist or single services. It is not compulsory for suppliers to supply all services. Bidders are to apply only, to the Filter services that they are able and want to provide via the DPS.
