Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procures transportation of the public on local service transport routes within Staffordshire. The requirement is for passenger transport services, covering local services delivered across Staffordshire in the West Midlands. It is a services contract, classified under CPV 60000000 for transport services excluding waste transport. The Council uses a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) for this requirement, from which individual quarterly mini-competitions are awarded. The work is therefore relevant to operators and transport providers able to deliver public-facing local services in Staffordshire, including organisations with the operational capability to cover multiple routes or service requirements. The published awards identify suppliers through a council web link rather than naming their businesses directly.

This is a completed, awarded process using selective call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 11 June 2020, and the recorded contract period for the current quarterly award is 1 April to 30 June 2026. The current award was made on 31 March 2026 to a supplier identified through the council’s local service transport award information, for £3,603,429.11. Earlier quarterly awards were made on 30 June 2023 (£1,047,246.85), 31 December 2023 (£2,470,555.58), 31 March 2024 (£644,686.38), 30 June 2024 (£2,555,233.79), 31 December 2024 (£783,255.35), 31 March 2025 (£4,002,485.99), 30 September 2025 (£182,070.40), and 31 December 2025 (£3,335,171.93). The data records SME and VCSE suitability.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Staffordshire County Council for local public passenger transport, with quarterly call-offs from an established dynamic purchasing system. A credible future supplier would need to operate local service transport within Staffordshire and manage delivery across the Council’s required routes and service areas. The repeated awards indicate that the requirement is divided into regular mini-competitions rather than a single one-off purchase, creating a route suited to operators that can respond to individual call-offs. The recorded supplier organisations are classified as SMEs and VCSEs, and the opportunity is explicitly suitable for both types of organisation. Businesses should therefore have the transport operations, vehicles, drivers, scheduling and service-management capability needed for reliable public passenger services, together with the capacity to participate in the Council’s electronic DPS process.
