Description

A Dynamic Purchasing System for the Provision of Passenger Transport Services as required by Dorset Council.

This Dynamic Purchasing System will be used to procure passenger transport services as required by Dorset Council. These requirements may include, but are not limited to, transport for Children to School, Children with Special Education Needs and Children in Care. It may also be used to procure supported public passenger transport services and transport for various social care purposes.

Applications to participate with this DPS can be made on the portal: www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk REF:DN245509

The publishing of this Tender Notice is to communicate the extension of the above DPS (Ref DN245509), which was originally established in May 2017 for a 4 year period ending 30 April 2021. Dorset Council took the option of extending the DPS for a further 4 year period ending 30 April 2025, and now wishes to extend the DPS for a further period of up to 2 years ending 30 April 2027. Dorset Council reserves the right to terminate the DPS prior to 30 April 2027, and also reserves the right to extend the DPS further beyond 30 April 2027, up to a maximum end date of February 2029 in line with Cabinet Office guidance regarding Dynamic Purchasing Systems procured under PCR2015.

As part of this extension, any organisation already awarded onto the DPS will not be required to submit a new application. Any new applications can continue to be made at the above mentioned address. Organisations are required to meet defined criteria to be admitted on to the DPS. All organisations that meet and pass the exclusion and selection criteria detailed within the e-procurement portal will be admitted on to the DPS.

All suppliers admitted to the DPS will be invited to tender for contracts.

Contracts awarded through the DPS will typically be evaluated based upon 100% price, however Dorset Council reserves the right to evaluate tenders on a mix of price and quality criteria and where this approach is used the evaluation criteria and weightings will be clearly communicated to suppliers as part of the invitation to tender.

The estimated value of £80 million provided on this tender notice is based on the estimated total value of all passenger transport services required by the Council over the next 2 year period. As requirements are subject to change the value is provided as an estimation only.

Please note that the contract start and end dates detailed above are not relevant. Contracts will be awarded throughout the term of the DPS.
