The DPS will be divided into regional lots, starting with the North West region, and then expanding to other areas. The tender includes key information such as a maximum of 12 lots bid per supplier and a contract period of 1800 days. The future lot structure and scope may vary based on market needs. The initiation type is a tender, and the future notice date for communication is set for 20th November 2023. This opportunity provides a chance for transport service providers to compete for contracts in various regions across the UK. Businesses offering transport services, especially those focusing on student transport and serving educational institutions, would be suited to participate. Suppliers are encouraged to engage with the Crescent Purchasing Consortium to understand specific regional requirements and position themselves for potential opportunities as the DPS evolves. ## Notice Crescent Purchasing Consortium are seeking infomation from suppliers in advance of setting up a Student Transport DPS.
