This procurement falls under the services category and is situated in the UKJ2 region. The Council is extending the duration of its existing DPS for an additional 22 months until 23 February 2029. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage and follows a selective restricted procedure. Interested businesses can apply electronically and are encouraged to review the selection criteria outlined in the procurement documents. Key personnel for inquiries include James Skilling, who can be contacted via telephone or email. This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for enterprises operating in the road transport services sector. The DPS categorises transport needs into three distinct lots—vehicles with up to 8 seats, vehicles with 9 seats or more, and specialist transport—with each lot allowing numerous suppliers to bid. Companies that specialise in offering flexible transport solutions and can meet the Council’s criteria will find this tender appealing. With a substantial contract value of £175 million and options for renewal, this tender is suited for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in regional transport services. Enterprises already participating in the existing DPS are automatically considered, while new entrants can apply anytime during the DPS validity. ## Notice This is an extension for the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services.

Please note that organisations can apply to join the Council's DPS at any time during its validity if they satisfy the selection criteria and none of the grounds for exclusion apply.
