Published requirement description

Crescent Purchasing Consortium are seeking infomation from suppliers in advance of setting up a Student Transport DPS. The DPS will be used by our members who are predominately from the further education sector. More infomation about CPC can be found here: www.thecpc.ac.uk ↗

The DPS will be split into regional lots and each member will define their specific requirements at call off stage.

The future lot structure and scope may vary from this in line with what is appropriate for the market.

CPV: Transport services (excl. Waste transport)

Lots and requirements (12)Procurement structure

Applies to lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

Crescent Purchasing will be trialing this framework within the North West Lot initially, meaning we are particularly keen to hear from suppliers within this area.
