Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council is inviting applications for the "Home to School Transport Services" project, which aims to provide transportation for children and young people to mainstream and special schools in Hampshire. This dynamic purchasing system (DPS) will allow for call-offs estimated at approximately £1.5 million annually, with an initial contract term of five years and potential extensions based on council evaluation. The tender period ends on 5 July 2021, while the contract commencement date is set for 16 July 2021, running until 15 July 2026. Most routes will be local to Portsmouth, but longer routes may occasionally be required.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for transport service providers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the specific needs of school transportation. Businesses specialising in passenger transport, including those offering vehicles with drivers, such as taxis and buses, are encouraged to participate in this competitive process. Potential bidders should participate in the supplier briefing on 14 June 2021 to better understand service requirements and performance expectations, enabling them to tailor their proposals effectively.

Notice Title

Home to School Transport Services - Portsmouth City Council - Dynamic Purchasing System

Notice Description

Portsmouth City Council (the council) is inviting applications from transport providers to deliver home to school transport services on behalf of the council. These services are required to support the council fulfil its statutory responsibility to transport children and young people who meet specific criteria from home to both mainstream and special schools. The majority of routes start and end in Portsmouth, however there are occasions when longer routes, starting and/or ending outside of the authority will be required. The total value of call-offs to be awarded via the DPS is estimated to be in the region of PS1.5million per annum. The initial term of the DPS will be 5 years with the option to extend in increments to be determined by the council, on a rolling basis with no maximum term set. The majority of call-offs will be awarded via mini-competition across all DPS suppliers. However, the council reserves the right to award call-offs without a mini-competition in the following circumstances: * Where time is of the essence * Where the child or young person's needs are specific to mean that only one supplier can fulfil the requirements * Where a route will not run regularly or will be subject to significant change Awards made without mini-competition will be based on factors including but not limited to the needs of the child or young person, vehicle type available, price per mile and supplier performance. There is no minimum term for call-offs. While most call-offs will be awarded for at least the academic year, there may be changes to circumstances which require routes to be terminated, changed or awarded mid-year. Call-offs will be awarded for a maximum term of 3 years, with the option to extend in increments to be agreed, to a maximum of 5 years. In exceptional circumstances call-off contracts may be extended beyond 5 years. These circumstances include: * Where the needs of a child or young person can only be met by a specific vehicle type and this is held by one operator only and these needs will not change * Where changes to the service would cause significant disruption to a child or young person's ability to attend school * Where conditions in the wider environment mean extensions are required to prevent service disruption. For example, where local or national polices directly impacting service delivery are in the process of being updated, or where global political situations significantly increase the cost of fuel or other operating costs resulting in unaffordable cost increases for the council. To assist suppliers with their application, the council is holding a supplier briefing on 14 June 2021 at 10:30am. This will include an explanation of service requirements, driver conduct, performance expectations, documentation, the application process and how the DPS will operate. Suppliers wishing to attend the session or receive a copy of the recording should refer to ...
