The tender is active and the submission deadline for bids is set for 30th July 2035, on which date the award period will also commence.

This tender presents ample opportunities for businesses involved in transport services, particularly Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) and private hire cars, to expand their scope by catering to the transport needs of schools, social care services, and other sectors requiring passenger or goods transport in the region. With the DPS being open-ended, it allows ongoing entry of suppliers, fostering a competitive environment and encouraging growth for those capable of providing reliable and efficient transport solutions.
