This is being facilitated through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which is currently active. The relevant procurement, classified under industry categories that include transport services and courier services, focuses on the UK and Channel Islands. The tender stage is ongoing and key dates include the tender period ending on 6th November 2024, with the contract period spanning from 7th November 2024 to 6th February 2029. The procurement method is selective, utilising a restricted procedure above the threshold. This tender provides a platform for businesses, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, to secure contracts within the health sector by offering critical transport services to NHS bodies across several regions. The DPS format permits unlimited supplier participation, fostering competition and innovation in service delivery. It categorises services into specific areas such as booking, core patient transport, mental health transport, high dependency services, and more, making it apt for businesses specialising in each category. Engaging in this procurement process presents significant opportunities for business growth by aligning with the sustained operational needs of the NHS and broader public sector bodies. ## Notice Guy's and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust (as host of the NHS London Procurement Partnership) is seeking to make some changes to the provision of non-emergency transport and other transport services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS).
