About

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking suppliers for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide road passenger transport for children and adults. The DPS will support BMBC’s statutory duty to deliver home-to-school travel for eligible children, including SEN and non-SEN pupils, with regular term-time journeys both within and outside the Borough on daily, weekly, fortnightly or termly single or return routes. The Council also requires transport to and from day centres for vulnerable adults under the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Acts 1970 and 1986. Providers must supply a range of vehicles from cars to minibuses, including wheelchair-accessible vehicles fitted with appropriate equipment, and be able to offer drivers with or without escorts as specified. The procurement is an Above Threshold procedure under PCR 2015 using a DPS and is split into four lots covering standard taxis/MPVs up to 8 seats, standard minibuses up to 16 seats, wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and minibuses for vulnerable adults (with escort provision); bidders may apply for any lot.
