This proforma is designed as an initial Expression of Interest and that of course potential prime contractors may well require more detailed information in due course. DWP is not responsible for any information provided nor does it endorse or make recommendations about any organisations using this form. Use of this form is entirely optional.

Standard Information Sharing Form

Please do not send completed forms to DWP. This form is designed to be used as an initial expression of interest to work with a potential prime contractor for specific competitions.
