Dynamic Procurement System for Local Bus and Education Bus Services
Authority: Falkirk Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionFalkirk Council are seeking to invite Passenger Vehicle Operators to participate in a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) which will be used to procure transport related "service contracts" operated by Public Service Vehicles (PSV) including subsidised local bus services, home to school transport, and other education transport. It is anticipated that the DPS will run for a period of 10 years and that mini-competitions will be run under it.
Organisations applying for this DPS should note that in some circumstances there will not be a minimum of 10 days given to respond to mini-competitions.
- Recurrence: It is anticipated any further notice would be published approximately 6 months in advance of the DPS end date.
CPV: Public road transport services
