Description
Derbyshire County Council ("the Council") organises and funds transport for a wide range of passengers travelling from/to and within Derbyshire. Actual delivery of the service is undertaken by a broad range of operators, from sole-trader taxi operators through to minibus, coach and bus operators who bid for the work as and when tender opportunities become available throughout the year. This is the new and improved Dynamic Purchasing System (“DPS”) for the provision of passenger transport services on behalf of the Council. This DPS replaces the current three DPS’s in place (STDPS001, ETC7596 & ETE7655) and although applications can be submitted immediately, it is anticipated that mini-competitions will commence in April 2023, at which point the current three DPS’s will be terminated. Applications to join can be submitted at any time throughout the duration of the DPS. Terms and Schedules can be accessed and applications can be submitted at this link, having expressed an interest in the opportunity >> https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=8384140e-6c71-ed11-811c-005056... This DPS is an agreement that sets out the terms under which individual contracts (call-offs) are made throughout the period the DPS is in place for. A DPS is used where the Contracting Authority know they are likely to have a need for passenger transport services but are unsure of the extent or schedule. Initially the DPS will be in place for 10 years with the option to extend this timeframe. The DPS operates entirely electronically, therefore it is the operator’s responsibility to ensure at all times they have access to the Councils’ E-Tendering Portal and that their profile is kept up to date. This DPS shall provide transport commissioned by the Council to meet all eligible passenger’s needs, its statutory duties and strategic planning for transport services. In order to meet these needs, there are 5 lots available based on vehicle size. Operators who have joined the DPS will have demonstrated though successful completion of the Councils Selection Questionnaire that they can deliver the service and agreed to pre-determined terms and conditions and schedules. Call offs or individual contracts will be awarded on the basis of mini-competitions (also known as invitation to tender) which will be held between all the operators on the DPS.
