How do I create a category of Suppliers / export Appointed Supplier data?

Answer

From the DPS Marketplace, select ‘Access as a buyer’, at the relevant DPS. Once you have agreed to the Customer Access Agreement, select the ‘Create a new category export’ link under the ‘Options’ menu, on the right of the page.

Background

The DPS Marketplace provides access to all procurements run by Crown Commercial Service using a Dynamic Purchasing System. Buyers can access framework agreements that meet common purchasing requirements across government.

Steps

1. Go to ‘Sign in’ from the ‘Home’ page
2. From the ‘Home’ page, select the ‘Click here’ hyperlink in the blue Dynamic Purchasing System box
3. Locate the relevant DPS and select the option ‘Access as a buyer’. Agree to the associated terms and conditions
4. Select the ‘Create a new category export’ hyperlink, under the ‘Options’ section
5. Set your relevant DPS filter criteria to search for Suppliers and select ‘Save category’
6. Once saved, select the hyperlink option to ‘Export’ to download the related Supplier data. This is accessible under the new category export that you have now created on your DPS Dashboard. (please note that approved Buyer status on the Supplier Registration Service will be required, in order to access and export Appointed DPS Supplier data).
