## Description
Portsmouth City Council (the council) on behalf of Solent Transport has established a multi-Lot multi-supplier Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to support the delivery of a Future Transport Zone (FTZ) within the Solent area.  The establishment of the DPS was detailed in contract notice 2021/S 000-004302.
As detailed within the contract notice, the DPS was initially established by inviting applications for 3 specific Lots, with expressions of interests invited a further 3 Lots.  The purpose of this further notice is to announce the opening of DPS Lot 6 - Transport Modelling, for applications.
Lot 6 - Transport Modelling is principally concerned with the maintenance, operation and future re-development of Solent Transport's Sub-Regional Transport Model (SRTM), strategic transport model.  Full details of the activities to be delivered via Lot 6 - Transport Modelling are captured in Section II.2.4.
The entirety of the call off processes, contracting options and access set out within the original DPS contract notice will apply to the operation of Lot 6.
For completeness a corrigenda notice 2021/S 000-004302 will also be published. 
The target date for operational commencement of Lot 6 is 3rd December 2021.  The initial term of Lot 6 will mirror the duration of the FTZ programme, which is due to end on 30th June 2024.  
However, as per the operation of the overarching DPS, the operation of Lot 6 may be extended beyond this term on a rolling basis in increments to be determined without limitation in respect of number and length of extension periods applied.
The total value of the services that could be let via Lot 6 of the DPS is estimated to be between £3.3million and £7million.  
The lower value includes the estimated value of works likely let as part of the FTZ programme as well as the the operation and development of Solent Transport's Solent Sub-Regional Transport Model (SRTM) on a "do less" basis.  The higher value takes into account of the operation and development of the SRTM on a "do more" basis.
Lot 6 will be established in accordance with the following programme:
• Issue of Supplemental FTS Contract Notice & Lot 6 Document Pack - 05.10.2021
• Deadline for Applications for Lots 6 - 16:00 on 05.11.2021
• Lot 6 Commencement - 03.12.2021
As well as establishing Lot 6, applications are being sought concurrently for inclusion onto a mini-competition shortlist which will be used to call-off services for the continued operation of the SRTM.
Further information regarding the scope of services, value, programme and procurement strategy in respect of this imminent call-off are included within Section II.2.4. of this notice.
Application is by way of completed Supplier Requirements Questionnaire (SRQ) and associated documents via the Council's e-sourcing solution Intend by the deadline stated above. The SRQ and associated documentation can be accessed via InTend.
