What the buyer wants
Provision of road-based passenger transport services including traditional bus routes and demand responsive transport, excluding home to school transport for pupils with special requirements, under a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) lasting until 2037.
The DPS comprises two lots:
Lot 1: traditional bus services with set routes and timetables.
Lot 2 : covers demand responsive transport and other non-typical bus provision.
Note: The DPS excludes the provision of home to school transport for pupils with special transport requirements, e.g. wheelchair and/or passenger assistant.
The Council has a duty under the 1985 Transport Act 'to secure the provision of such public passenger transport services as the council consider it appropriate to secure to meet any public transport requirements ... which would not in its view be met apart from any action taken by it for that purpose.'
The agreement will provide the structure to procure routes, the Bus Strategy developed during 2020 defines what the Council deems appropriate under the Act, and the call offs under this framework will procure those routes, ensuring by the appropriate qualitative criteria that any route details put forward by operators fulfil the requirements defined in the Strategy.
As of June 2022 the Council provides 9 subsidised public bus services operating Mon-Sat with three of these services also operating late into the evening and on Sundays. The Council also contributes to a route procured by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
The procurement process will be run in accordance with the following programme:

How Tenderoo reads it
This is a dynamic purchasing system (a dynamic market under the Procurement Act): suppliers can apply to join at any point while it runs, and work is awarded in rounds to the members. A missed deadline is not the end of it.
The notice reads as suitable for a small or medium-sized firm: the scope, value and requirements are within reach of a business of that size.
