What is being bought

This is an extension for the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services. The Authority is extending the validity of its existing DPS for a further 22 month period 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. For the avoidance of doubt, those suppliers that are already on the existing DPS do not need to respond to this contract notice as they are already admitted. The original notice ref is 2022/S 000-010315 and located here: https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010315-2022?origin=SearchResults&p=9835

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 60. The category anchor is Road transport services (60100000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 602,43714 median · 30.3 average (1,913 of 2,437 with a bid count)1.4 average (1,928 of 2,437 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
