Dorset Council seeks to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services. This DPS will create a pool of pre-qualified suppliers capable of providing various passenger transport services on an as-needed basis.
The specific services encompassed within the DPS include School Transport, Supported Public Passenger Transport, and Transport for Social Care Purposes. School Transport may involve conveying children to educational institutions, potentially including those with special educational needs and children in care. Supported Public Passenger Transport aims to assist individuals who face challenges accessing standard public transportation options. Transport for Social Care Purposes encompasses services that transport individuals to medical appointments, social engagements, or other destinations related to their care requirements.
Contracts awarded through the DPS will primarily be based on price, although Dorset Council retains the right to utilize a combination of price and quality criteria for evaluation. Organizations interested in joining the DPS must fulfill specific exclusion and selection criteria outlined on the e-procurement portal. The estimated total value of passenger transport services required by Dorset Council over the next two years is £80 million.
