This dynamic purchasing system aims to facilitate various transport services, including education and social care transport, public transport bus networks, and demand-responsive transport. The procurement focuses on public road transport services and is categorised under CPV code 60112000. The tender, valued at £1,680,000,000, is set in the East of England and allows for an 8-year initial period with potential extensions. The end date for the tender period is set for 8th March 2030, while the contract period is planned from 9th March 2030 to 10th March 2030. Businesses interested in participating should be aware that this opportunity is open to SMEs and VCSEs, with procurement documents available for direct access. This procurement opportunity offers significant potential for growth, particularly for businesses in the transport services industry. By segmenting the dynamic purchasing system into specific transport categories, it ensures that providers with niche expertise can engage with the Council's defined requirements. SMEs and VCSEs offering education transport, special-purpose passenger transport, or non-scheduled passenger transport services can particularly benefit. Businesses capable of scaling and serving public sector requirements will find this tender advantageous, especially given the open eligibility for registration in multiple categories, thereby broadening market reach and establishing long-term governmental partnerships. ## Notice The scope of this DPS is to cover all future Transport requirements that the Council procures and is segmented into different categories of transport.
