This procurement falls under the Transport services (excl. Waste transport) industry category and is designed to service the West Midlands region in the United Kingdom. The DPS aims to cover bus transport services for home to school journeys and local bus routes, requiring vehicles with at least 9 seats, with the possibility of passenger assistants on some routes. The tender period is set to conclude by 17th March 2030, with the contract commencing on 18th March 2030 and ending on the same day. The procurement method utilised is a selective, restricted procedure above the threshold, with estimated values ranging from £95,000,000 to £150,000,000 excluding VAT. This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for suppliers in the transport sector, particularly SMEs, as it allows them to join a dynamic system focused on consistent procurement needs over a seven-year period. Suppliers who successfully register with the DPS via the e-procurement portal, CSW-Jets, will be notified of specific tender opportunities as they arise, giving them the flexibility to choose their interest. Businesses capable of providing reliable bus transport services and those with the required infrastructure to support a fleet of vehicles and possibly passenger assistants are well-suited to compete in this tender process. ## Notice The Dynamic Purchasing System will be used for the provision of bus transport services for home to school and local bus services. The required vehicle size for this contract is 9 seats or more. Passenger assistants may be required on some routes. Once a Supplier has successfully completed their application to the DPS, operators will be advised of the opportunities available as and when they arise. Operators can then choose whether they want to bid for the requirement or not (it is not compulsory to bid for every opportunity offered, and all operators within the DPS approved Supplier list will be informed of the opportunity, but can choose whether or not to bid on an individual basis). Tender opportunities are likely to be offered either via an electronic auction (e-auction) exercise or via an electronic quote mechanism (currently In-Tend). Estimated value excluding VAT: PS95,000,000-PS150,000,000. For information, the latest annual spend figure through the current DPS was circa PS13.5m. In order to submit an application to the DPS and bid for call-off's as and when they arise, you will need to register as a Supplier on our e-procurement portal, CSW-Jets (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/csw-jets/aspx/Home). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1b608ee0-980b-400c-a29a-3688176a5bb2 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | 23 Feb 2029 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Feb 2029 - 24 Feb 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WARWICKSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | WARWICK | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV34 4RL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG13 Warwickshire CC | | Local authority | Warwick | | Electoral ward | Warwick Saltisford | | Westminster constituency | Warwick and Leamington | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
