Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council is procuring passenger transport services for delivery across Devon and Torbay, with Torbay Council and South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group also identified as buyers. The requirement is a dynamic purchasing system covering six service areas: PCV contracted transport, including optional contractor escorts; hackney carriage and private-hire transport, also with optional escorts; drivers and escorts; ambulance transport with qualified crew; public transport; and other car provision, including optional escorts. This is a broad transport-services requirement rather than a single vehicle purchase. It covers passenger journeys and associated staffing across urban, rural and coastal communities in the Devon and Torbay area, and may suit operators with different vehicle types, transport licences and local operating coverage.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective restricted procedure using a dynamic purchasing system. Six lots were created, but each lot is recorded as cancelled; awards were nevertheless made to suppliers under the system, with 1,361 active awards and corresponding contracts recorded. The contracts were signed in two groups: the first group on 31 December 2022 and the second on 31 March 2023. No award or contract values are published. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with quality carrying no points, across every lot. The recorded suppliers include coach operators, taxi and private-hire businesses, community transport providers, ambulance-capable operators and public transport companies. The contracting authorities include Devon County Council, Torbay Council and South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group.

This opportunity shows substantial public-sector demand for passenger transport across Devon and Torbay and a route that accommodates both small local businesses and large operators. The supplier base includes many small taxi, private-hire, community transport and coach businesses, alongside larger public transport companies, so credible competitors may range from single-area operators to firms with wider fleet coverage. Relevant capability depends on the service offered: PCV or public transport operation, hackney carriage or private-hire work, provision of drivers and escorts, ambulance transport with qualified crew, or other car services. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate suitable vehicles, appropriately licensed and trained drivers, escort capacity where required, dependable local availability and the ability to compete primarily on price.
