Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire County Council is seeking suppliers for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of transport services to children and vulnerable adults, with the procurement currently in the Tender stage. The tender, identified as DN111261, relates to a range of road transport services classified under CPV code 60100000 and is set to close on 8 March 2017. The DPS will operate from around 1 April 2016 for a five-year period, with potential extensions. Interested suppliers can apply across multiple vehicle categories tailored to various transport needs within the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity offers significant business growth potential, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in transport services. Businesses that provide various types of vehicles, such as taxis, ambulances, and accessible transport options, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, companies adept at handling short-notice requirements and capable of delivering services both within and outside the authority's administrative area can benefit from this DPS, as it aims to address transport needs that existing contracts may not fulfil.

Appointment of a Supplier to the DPS is no guarantee that the Supplier will actually receive instructions from the Authority to deliver Services. Suppliers may apply for appointment to as many Categories as they wish. The DPS will operate for a period of five years commencing on or around 1 April 2016.
