This initiative falls under the transportation services industry and aims to appoint multiple providers primarily for home to school transport as well as for other council departments. The procurement is in the active tender stage, with bids accepted until 30 June 2028. The estimated contract value is £12 million, with a minimum value of £5 million, and the contract period is set to begin on 1 July 2028 and last until 2 July 2028. This tender represents a significant opportunity for growth within the transport service sector, specifically for taxi service providers. The Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) model encourages fair competition by allowing multiple suppliers to join at any point during the contract. Businesses that can provide taxi services, especially those focused on school transportation or local council needs, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, making this a potentially lucrative venture for local providers seeking to expand their clientele. ## Notice The Council wishes to appoint a number of providers to provide taxis services, predominantly for home to school transport but will also for other Council departments. A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) agreement will be setup, where providers will be able to join at any time during the contract period. A DPS is a completely electronic system; it does not operate in the same way as a traditional contract in that it is an 'open market' product designed to provide access to a pool of providers which can be constantly refreshed. Establishing a DPS with multiple providers will create an environment which encourages fair competition and allows providers to join at any time and choose whether to compete for all or any of the competitions.
