Extension of existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services
Authority: London Borough of Enfield (Local council)
What is being bought6 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThis is further extension to the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services.
The services include home to school transport for children with special educational needs, home to college transport for young adults with special educational needs and similar requirements.
The DPS is divided into the following Lots:
Lot 1 - Education and Childrens Social Care Taxis (Private Hire or Hackney) up to 8 passengers with driver

Lot 3 Mini-Bus with Driver up 16 passengers
Lot 4 Coach with driver up to 24 passengers
Lot 5 Wheelchair adapted - tail lift 16 seat mini bus with driver
Lot 6 Ad Hoc Taxi Travel
There may also be a requirement for the provision of vehicles only on a spot hire, short term and long lease basis.
The authority is extending the validity of this existing DPS for a further 34 month period starting from 18th April 2026 until 23 February 2029
Please note that organisations can apply to join the Council's DPS at any time during its validity if they satisfy the selection criteria and none of the grounds for exclusion apply.
If an organisation admitted to the DPS ceases to satisfy the Council's selection requirements it is likely to be excluded or suspended from taking part in any competition. If an admitted organisation fails one of the grounds for exclusion during the validity of the DPS the Council may be required to remove the supplier from the DPS.
For previous information regarding this DPS, please refer to the original OJEU Contract Reference: 2016/S 235-428337
This Dynamic Purchase System has a total estimated value of £60,000,000 excluding VAT (the estimated value of this extension is £15,000,000 excluding VAT) covering the period from its establishment in 2017 to the end of the period of its validity.
For the avoidance of doubt, those providers that are already on the existing DPS do not need to respond to this contract notice as they are already admitted.

- “Extension of existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger…” is a dynamic market: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Here, local means the winner is registered in the region where that contract was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered in Greater London.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 83 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.
Past bids do not predict this tender.

How did awards compare with estimates?
i
Where winning prices landed against estimates.
Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.
On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.
Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.
Not comparable on a framework or DPS. The notice sets up a supplier panel and a ceiling value; what the work actually costs is agreed later, on each call-off or mini-competition, and those publish as contract notices of their own. The award-vs-estimate record of this market therefore sits on the call-offs; this page shows it on the contracts, not on the panel that frames them.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
