Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council is currently engaged in a tender process for the provision of Local Bus Services and School Bus Services through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). This initiative falls under the Transport services category and is intended to enhance bus services across Lancashire and neighbouring areas, alongside providing essential school transportation. The tender period is set to conclude on 29 December 2029, with the overall contract starting soon thereafter, lasting until 31 December 2029. The estimated budget for these services is £140 million, and interested suppliers will need to meet specific operator licensing and quality standards as part of the selective procurement method employed.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the transport sector, especially those that provide PSV services and have the requisite licensing. Companies adept at delivering high-quality transport solutions, including insurance and driver training, will find this an advantageous environment to expand their market presence. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in the mini-competition process for each individual contract to be tendered under the DPS. Potential suppliers can obtain further details about the operational aspects and requirements for participation on the council's procurement webpage.
