## Summary

Devon County Council has completed a procurement process under its Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport, seeking suppliers for home to school transport contracts within Devon. Classified under CPV codes "Transport services" and "Ambulance services," this tender focused on service provision throughout South West England. The procurement followed a selective approach with a restricted procedure, culminating in awards active from 9th March 2026 to 9th March 2031. Key stakeholders could submit responses until 23rd February 2026. Contracts have a five-year duration but can be terminated per standard conditions.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for small enterprises ready to deliver transport services, particularly those specialising in passenger and ambulance transport. With Harveys Bus Ltd and Taw & Torridge Coaches Ltd as awarded suppliers, the process demonstrates potential for SMEs to secure long-term regional contracts in the public sector. Companies with strategic focus on regional transport, possessing relevant expertise and compliance capabilities, are well-positioned to compete in similar future procurements. Engaging with Devon County Council could open avenues for sustained service provision across educational transport networks.
