Information for Suppliers
At Connect2Hampshire we invite you to apply to our open Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) of Temporary Worker Agencies and Interim Contractors/Consultants. Suppliers may join the DPS at any point during its validity provided key satisfaction requirements are met, and none of the grounds for exclusion apply.
Connect2Hampshire Requires each of its suppliers to meet the highest standards. Our Requirements as set out in the DPS include a commitment to rigorous quality assurance. At Connect2Hampshire we value suppliers who know the importance of making and meeting commitments and delivery of the highest standards.
