Expanding Access to High-Quality Training Through the YPO Training Solutions DPS

Virtual College is proud to support public sector and corporate organisations through the YPO Training Solutions Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS 999). This DPS provides a compliant, flexible and competitive route to market for a wide range of training solutions, enabling organisations to access high-quality provision quickly and with confidence.

Our participation reflects Virtual College’s capability to deliver scalable, outcome-focused training that meets the needs of diverse sectors and workforces.

A Flexible and Compliant Route to Training Provision

The YPO Training Solutions DPS has been designed to simplify procurement while maintaining robust governance and value for money. By operating as a Dynamic Purchasing System, it remains open to qualified providers and allows contracting authorities to commission training as needs arise, without the constraints of a closed framework.

  • Reduced procurement complexity
  • Faster access to approved training providers
  • Confidence in regulatory and contractual compliance
  • Flexibility to tailor training to organisational priorities

Comprehensive Training Coverage Across Key Skills Areas

The DPS covers a broad range of generic and cross-sector training, supporting organisations to build capability, resilience and performance. This includes training across areas such as:

  • Health and safety
  • IT and digital skills
  • Leadership and management
  • Corporate and professional development

Virtual College’s provision aligns with these categories, enabling organisations to address both immediate skills gaps and longer-term workforce development objectives.

Competitive, Quality-Led Commissioning

Training opportunities under the YPO DPS are awarded through competitive processes, ensuring transparency, fairness and best value. Providers are assessed against published criteria, allowing contracting authorities to balance quality, relevance and cost when commissioning services.

This model supports informed decision-making and ensures that training outcomes, learner experience and delivery capability remain central to award decisions.
