A tender is being carried out to put in place a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of passenger transport services on behalf of the Contracting Authority. This DPS is an agreement that sets out the terms under which individual contracts (call-offs) are made throughout the period the DPS is in place for. Initially the DPS will be in place for 5 years with the option to extend this timeframe. A DPS is used where the Contracting Authority know they are likely to have a need for particular passenger transport services, but are unsure of the extent or schedule. The passenger transport services that will be required incorporates transport for school children and social care clients as well as passengers travelling by bus services financially supported by NCC and NHS patients attending hospital appointments. This DPS will establish multiple suppliers who through this procurement exercise will have demonstrated that they can deliver the service and agreed to pre-determined terms and conditions.
