## Summary

The Wokingham Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of the procurement process for the "Provision of Passenger Transport Services" and is hosting a Market Engagement Event on 25 September 2019. This procurement initiative aims to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of various transport services, including those for schools, colleges, and care establishments within the Wokingham Borough, South East England. Key milestones include the engagement end date of 30 September 2019, with the DPS anticipated to open in September 2019 and run for ten years. Interested parties can find further details in the early engagement notice published on 14 August 2019.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those with capabilities to offer diverse vehicles and drivers for different types of passengers, including mainstream and special educational needs (SEN) pupils. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially suited to compete for this contract. By participating in the Supplier Information Event, businesses will gain valuable insights into the registration process and application requirements, positioning them for future contracts over the upcoming decade.

## Notice

WBC procure passenger transport to and from various establishments (e.g. schools, colleges, respite care, daycare, short stay establishments) within and outside the Wokingham Borough for mainstream, SEN pupils andadults. Transport services vary and will therefore require different vehicle types plus drivers and possibly passenger assistants. It is the Councils intention to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the future provision of transport services. The DPS is anticipated to be open in September 2019 and run for 10 years, during which time new applicants can apply to join. This is a new approach to how we currently procure, therefore the Council will be hosting a Supplier Information Event at the Council Offices on 25 September 9.30am - 11.30am to explain what is a DPS, how it works, registration process, how to apply, expected timetable etc. Please register your interest to attend by email: ctugroup@wokingham.gov.uk or telephone 0118 9746119. Registered attendees will receive an email, prior to the event, to confirm the agenda, presentation start time, car parking details etc.
