## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council has concluded the "Supported Transport Dynamic Purchasing Solution (DPS) 2023" for road transport services, under a Dynamic Purchasing System aimed at streamlining the procurement process. This process, classified under the CPV code 60100000, revolves around services such as mainstream home to school transport, Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) transport, and social care transport. The services are primarily required within Oxfordshire and occasionally in neighbouring counties. The procurement follows a selective method under a restricted procedure. This process commenced with an initial tender stage, and the latest contracts were awarded in June 2026, marking the completion of the process.

This tender presents various opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in road transport services. Companies with capabilities in providing taxi and private hire services, including wheelchair-accessible vehicles and passenger assistants, alongside minibus and coach services, can compete effectively. The structured process through a Dynamic Purchasing System facilitates businesses to pre-qualify and bid for specific lots, enhancing chances for securing long-term contracts. The DPS structure is favourable for SMEs, allowing flexibility and multiple entry points throughout its operation. Businesses can benefit from a detailed understanding of the DPS and the advantage of Oxfordshire County Council's commitment to procure services efficiently and effectively.
