Notice Description

Oxfordshire County Council ('the Council') invites Applicants to apply to join a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Supported Transport services. The purpose of Supported Transport is to plan, procure and manage transport services that are required to transport members of the public to essential amenities in the county, such as mainstream and special schools and social care establishments.
