The successful Potential Provider(s) will be responsible for providing this service and liaising closely with the authorised representative identified by the Authority. The Authority is managing this procurement process by setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). Background to the DPS: A DPS is an electronic tendering system for the selection of Potential Providers who comply with minimum service requirements. Tenders for specific Contracts can then be invited from Potential Providers accepted onto the DPS. A DPS must remain open throughout its duration for the admission of any Potential Provider that meets the minimum service requirements. The Authority is therefore able to add Potential Providers to the DPS throughout its duration, providing Potential Providers meet the selection criteria. DPS for the provision of Public Transport within Central Bedfordshire: The DPS will enable the Authority to utilise Potential Providers who meet the selection criteria for admittance onto the DPS. Potential Providers who are successfully accepted onto the DPS will then be invited to bid for contracts via e-auctions, mini competitions or other electronic processes. They will be awarded based on either Most Economically Advantageous Tender (Price/Quality) or by lowest price. The DPS will commence from the notified commencement date and will last for a period of four (4) years, with the option to extend one (1) year making a total of five (5) years. Potential Providers may apply for admission onto the DPS throughout its duration. The general service requirements can be found in the Specification. This document outlines the nature of the services to be provided under this DPS. Details of specific routes will be provided with each invitation to tender. Admission onto the DPS shall not guarantee any award of Contract(s) for services.The Authority is under no obligation to tender any requirements under this DPS when it is established. Where a Potential Provider is accepted onto the DPS fails to demonstrate the requirements of the service specification, they will be removed from the DPS.
