About

DFTO is establishing and operating an open Dynamic Market to enable Train Operating Companies (TOCs) within the DFTO group and public sector bodies to run call-off competitions for managed bus/coach (rail replacement) and managed taxi services. DFTO will act as the contracting authority for the establishment, governance and ongoing management of the Dynamic Market while individual TOCs will act as Customers and will conduct Call-Off Competitions and award Call-Off Contracts in their own capacity; DFTO will not be a party to any Call-Off Contract unless expressly stated. The Dynamic Market will remain open for its duration so suppliers can apply for admission at any time subject to meeting the Conditions for Membership, and admitted suppliers will be invited by Customers to participate in specific Call-Off Competitions. The structure is intended to support future organisational change and may be utilised by successor bodies in accordance with applicable legislation; the term is anticipated to be 8 years from the date of publication of the intentions notice (estimated 31/03/2026).
