UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

VisitBritain's (VB) Commercial Partnerships Team has the responsibility for creating commercial partnerships between VB and third party suppliers (or partners) for mutual benefit. In these commercial partnerships, the association of both brands generates a specific financial, or other advantage, which is applied for the benefit of both parties. In some cases, VB will match the funding provided by the third party supplier (partner) to enhance the scope of the commercial arrangement, which results in added value benefits for all. The Commercial Partnerships Team has used Dynamic Partner Register (DPR) to manage and award agreements to third party suppliers (partners). VB are now seeking to replace the DPR established in 2015 with a new Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Commercial Partnerships, and is interested in receiving expressions of interest from the market through this PIN process.
