## Summary

Flintshire County Council has initiated a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of passenger transport services, classified under the road transport services category (CPV code: 60100000). This procurement process is intended to secure services over an extended period until October 27th, 2028, with the primary location being Flintshire, UK (region UKL23). This DPS system is open for new applications, providing an opportunity for suppliers to apply through the Proactis Source to Contract Portal. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, facilitating an accessible and transparent submission process with electronic submissions due by March 31st, 2026. Flintshire County Council, a regional authority known for delivering general public services, serves as the contracting authority and can be contacted via procurement@flintshire.gov.uk.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, specifically targeting companies specialising in high-quality, cost-effective passenger transport services. The DPS covers diverse transport requirements, including local bus services, educational transport, and community-based services, hence offering a broad spectrum of potential contracts for service providers. With individual contracts awarded through further competitions, businesses that demonstrate robust service capabilities will find ample opportunity to establish or expand their footprint within the public transport sector. Consortia and companies capable of integrating Community Benefits into their service delivery, aligning with socio-economic objectives, will be notably well-placed to compete effectively under this DPS. Service providers who meet the minimum criteria for quality and pricing set out in the DPS will be invited to take part in future competitions, which could significantly enhance their business prospects in the region.
