## Description
Worcestershire County Council is advertising the opportunity for providers of Passenger Transport to apply to join a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the future procurement of Passenger Transport Services for the Council.
From October 2016, the DPS will be used for tendering for Mainstream and Local Bus Transport Services, Special Educational Needs (SEN) Transport and long term social care transport for children, young people and adults in Worcestershire.
In order to be able to compete for business with the Council, suppliers must first be approved to join the DPS and then they will be automatically notified of opportunities to bid for contracts through Mini-Competitions.
Suppliers who are not on the DPS will not be able to compete for business with the Council.
In order to join the DPS, a Supplier will be required to meet selection criteria and minimum standards as set out in the documents, which form part of the application process.
Full instructions regarding how to apply are given in these documents.
