## Summary

The North Somerset Council is seeking suppliers for its planned procurement of Passenger Transport Services through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) as part of a change in management and procurement strategy. The supplier information events are scheduled for 30th and 31st March 2017, with the contract period set to start from 10th March 2017 and run until 31st March 2017. The procurement falls under the transport services category, specifically excluding waste transport, and aims to connect potential service providers within the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for transportation service providers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their business in the public sector. With all new contract opportunities after September 2017 expected to be procured through this DPS, interested businesses should participate in the forthcoming supplier information events to gain insights and initiate their bid processes effectively.

## Notice

North Somerset Council is changing the way that it manages and procures passenger transport services, by setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). As a transport service provider you may be interested in providing contracted services to the council and as such you will need to be aware of these changes. Following events in February, the Council is running follow up sessions which will give you all the information you will need to apply for the DPS. All new contract opportunities beyond September 2017 will be procured through the DPS.
