About

Dorset Council is seeking suppliers for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide passenger transport services. The DPS covers transport for children to school, children with special education needs, children in care, supported public passenger transport and various social care transport needs. The notice communicates an extension of the DPS originally established in May 2017; Dorset Council extended it to 30 April 2025 and now proposes a further extension of up to 2 years ending 30 April 2027, with the council reserving the right to terminate earlier or extend further up to February 2029 under Cabinet Office guidance. Organisations already admitted to the DPS need not reapply; new organisations may apply and must meet the published exclusion and selection criteria to be admitted. Contracts will be awarded throughout the DPS term, typically evaluated on 100% price though Dorset Council may use price and quality weightings where stated, and the estimated total value over the next two years is £80 million (estimate only).
