What is the DWP LVP?
Job Centres use Low-Value Provision (LVP) to provide training to claimants who have a job offer or need the training to compete for vacancies. The majority of LVPs awards are up to £10,000 but they can go up to £50,000.
Right now there are over 10,000 live contract opportunities available to providers – Both National & Regional
What are the benefits of applying for LVP?
Opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), Charities and CICs
DWP wants to buy from SMEs every time they are the best value for money.
This service is an Internet-based solution; you only need a PC and Internet connection to use the service. The service offers benefit to any supplier, regardless of their size, technical capability or location.
Faster return on investment
Once our work is complete, you could see Request for Quotations or Purchase Orders come through from DWP in as little as 24 hours.
Prompt payment to suppliers
All central government departments are now required to pay 80% of undisputed invoices within five days.
More opportunity, less restriction
