What the buyer wants
Warwickshire County Council is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System for bus transport services, including home to school and local bus routes, requiring vehicles with 9 or more seats and possibly passenger assistants on some routes. Suppliers can register and then choose which individual opportunities to bid for via electronic auctions or quotes.
The Dynamic Purchasing System will be used for the provision of bus transport services for home to school and local bus services.
The required vehicle size for this contract is 9 seats or more.
Passenger assistants may be required on some routes.
Once a Supplier has successfully completed their application to the DPS, operators will be advised of the opportunities available as and when they arise. Operators can then choose whether they want to bid for the requirement or not (it is not compulsory to bid for every opportunity offered, and all operators within the DPS approved Supplier list will be informed of the opportunity, but can choose whether or not to bid on an individual basis).
Tender opportunities are likely to be offered either via an electronic auction (e-auction) exercise or via an electronic quote mechanism (currently In-Tend).
Estimated value excluding VAT: £95,000,000-£150,000,000.
For information, the latest annual spend figure through the current DPS was circa £13.5m.
In order to submit an application to the DPS and bid for call-off's as and when they arise, you will need to register as a Supplier on our e-procurement portal, CSW-Jets (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/csw-jets/aspx/Home).
