This tender, which falls under the services category, has an estimated value of £80 million and will involve various transport-related service contracts. The current procurement stage is active, with mini-competitions expected to be held during the lifespan of the DPS. Potential tenderers should note that in some cases, less than the standard 10 days may be granted to respond to these mini-competitions. The procurement process is conducted via a selective method, and submissions are to be made electronically. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing public transport services, including local bus operators and educational transport providers. Companies that possess a valid Public Service Vehicles (PSV) Operator’s Licence or Community Bus Permit, and can demonstrate a commitment to quality and competitive pricing, will find this tender particularly pertinent. Additionally, businesses prepared to engage with community benefits, such as offering paid employment or work experience, may enhance their competitive edge in securing contracts under this system. ## Notice Falkirk Council are seeking to invite Passenger Vehicle Operators to participate in a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) which will be used to procure transport related "service contracts" operated by Public Service Vehicles (PSV) including subsidised local bus services, home to school transport, and other education transport.
