Called the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP) it will replace Defence Contracts Online (DCO), which many of you might have used over the years. This follows the UK government’s introduction of a similar e-Sourcing service called Find a Tender to replace the role of Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) and the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).

DSP (keep up with acronyms) will cover:

• Advertising of our market opportunities

• Pre-Qualification for opportunities

• Tendering

• Evaluation (including complex evaluation)

• E-Auction events

• News and information on doing business with MoD.

The DSP is planned to go live in ‘Feb/Mar 21’. We shall see…
