Summary of the contracting process

The Blackburn with Darwen Council is initiating a tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Special Educational Needs and Disability Transport Services. This procurement process, classified under transport services (excluding waste transport), is set to commence on 31st December 2019 and will run until 31st December 2023. The tender period is active, with a crucial deadline for participating in the first round of mini competitions set for 14th October 2019. The total value of this procurement is £4,000,000, and the procedure adopted is a restricted selective method, allowing suppliers to join the DPS at any point during its duration.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their services within the education transport sector. Businesses specialising in transport services that meet the necessary criteria will have the chance to compete in e-auctions for specific routes, based on the lowest price. Given the structured approach of mini competitions, companies that are adaptable and competitive in pricing will find this process particularly advantageous for growth and engagement in public service contracts.
