## 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: https://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.

## Lots (12)
