Welcome to Dorset’s Public Sector Network

The Dorset Public Sector Network (DPSN) is expected to save local authorities, other public sector organisations and businesses money through the delivery of a shared infrastructure and services.

  • DPSN is the developing regional partnership bringing together the public sector within Dorset (in the first instance) and seeking to remove the barriers to shared working, developing a regional marketplace, developing regional infrastructure and offering call down contracts for PSN and non-PSN compliant connectivity and services.
  • DPSN is open to schools, local authorities, NHS, emergency services and even the business community.  
  • DPSN has been established by a partnership of Tier 1 and Tier 2 local authorities which, following a procurement process during 2010/11, appointed Kcom as the prime supplier.

A Framework Agreement is in place which allows participating organisations to contract with Kcom for services which are specified in a comprehensive service catalogue.

More information is available in the DPSN Brochure.
