This DPS aims to replace three existing DPS's and is expected to start mini-competitions in April 2023. The DPS will operate for an initial 10-year period, engaging operators through mini-competitions based on vehicle size. This tender by the Derbyshire County Council presents a significant opportunity for transport service providers to secure contracts through mini-competitions under the DPS framework. The procurement method for this opportunity is selective, offering a chance for a diverse range of transport operators to compete effectively and contribute to the Council's transport planning and statutory duties over the coming years. ## Notice Derbyshire County Council ("the Council") organises and funds transport for a wide range of passengers travelling from/to and within Derbyshire. Actual delivery of the service is undertaken by a broad range of operators, from sole-trader taxi operators through to minibus, coach and bus operators who bid for the work as and when tender opportunities become available throughout the year. This is the new and improved Dynamic Purchasing System ("DPS") for the provision of passenger transport services on behalf of the Council. This DPS replaces the current three DPS's in place (STDPS001, ETC7596 & ETE7655) and although applications can be submitted immediately, it is anticipated that mini-competitions will commence in April 2023, at which point the current three DPS's will be terminated. Applications to join can be submitted at any time throughout the duration of the DPS. Terms and Schedules can be accessed and applications can be submitted at this link, having expressed an interest in the opportunity >> https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=8384140e-6c71-ed11-811c-005056b64545&p=527b4bbd-5c58-e511-80ef-000c29c9ba21 This DPS is an agreement that sets out the terms under which individual contracts (call-offs) are made throughout the period the DPS is in place for. A DPS is used where the Contracting Authority know they are likely to have a need for passenger transport services but are unsure of the extent or schedule. Initially the DPS will be in place for 10 years with the option to extend this timeframe. The DPS operates entirely electronically, therefore it is the operator's responsibility to ensure at all times they have access to the Councils' E-Tendering Portal and that their profile is kept up to date. This DPS shall provide transport commissioned by the Council to meet all eligible passenger's needs, its statutory duties and strategic planning for transport services. In order to meet these needs, there are 5 lots available based on vehicle size. Operators who have joined the DPS will have demonstrated though successful completion of the Councils Selection Questionnaire that they can deliver the service and agreed to pre-determined terms and conditions and schedules. Call offs or individual contracts will be awarded on the basis of mini-competitions (also known as invitation to tender) which will be held between all the operators on the DPS. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/946b2361-c051-4c1f-8a51-63fb08e39538 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | 28 Nov 2032 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Nov 2032 - 30 Nov 2032 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000,000 | | 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 | DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MATLOCK | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE4 3AG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | | Local authority | Derbyshire Dales | | Electoral ward | Matlock West | | Westminster constituency | Derbyshire Dales | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
