## Summary

Swindon Borough Council has updated its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for passenger transport services with changes effective from 12 February 2026. The procurement process is at the "tenderUpdate" stage and involves the main procurement category of services. The council is located at Civic Offices, Euclid Street, Swindon, UK. This DPS includes road transport services, categorised under the CPV code 60100000, and is designed to cater to various transport needs including public, education, social care, and community transport. The DPS, originally established in May 2019, is structured into five distinct lots, and includes provisions for Personal Assistants, when required, across several lots. While originally valued at £23.5m, potential extensions could push the framework's value up to £38.5m, with contracts running potentially beyond the DPS expiry in 2029.

This tender represents numerous opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in road transport services. As Swindon Borough Council looks for suitably qualified and experienced service providers, the DPS offers substantial financial engagements and long-term prospects, particularly attractive for firms involved in bus and coach, minibus, taxi, and community transport sectors. Providers capable of delivering tailored transport solutions, including Personal Assistant services, will be well-suited to compete for these contracts, especially those with experience in public, educational, and social care transport services. Furthermore, the extended contract lengths and enhanced value potential of the DPS framework could significantly benefit businesses looking to establish or expand their presence within Swindon or similar regions.
