DOS5 has closed its doors

Digital Outcomes & Specialists 5, or DOS5, has closed for applications. If you didn't get your submission in, you may have missed out!

Another year, another Digital Outcomes and Specialists iteration. With £2.1bn+ being spent through the framework to date, DOS5 is a welcome continuation of a hugely successful route to market.

So, with doors now closed for applications. What does this mean for suppliers?

The DOS5 timeline

Get to know the DOS5 timeline. With the 4th iteration still ongoing and being used for business, we’re expecting to see version 5 go Live in the new year. Here’s the provisional timeline:

• 17th November 2020 – Applications close
• 5th January 2021 – Suppliers notified if successful
• 6th Jan until 19th January 2021 – Standstill period
• 20th January 2021 – DOS5 goes Live for business!

What now?

Get to know how it all works! Getting on to the framework is a good start but there’s a lot of hard work that comes after. Ultimately, making sure you can actually bid successfully. Winning business through Digital Outcomes and Specialists comes from crafting brilliant responses to a buyer’s opportunity.

Suppliers have a bit of time until the framework opens for business. So use these precious days to get everything in order!
