About

Cumberland Council is seeking suppliers to join a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of passenger transport services including Home to School, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), Pupil Referral Units, and Health, Care and Communities Transport. The DPS will run from 9 April 2025 to 28 October 2028 with year-round admittance of new providers; it is a two-stage process where interested tenderers must first meet the council’s selection criteria to be admitted to the DPS and then may be invited to bid for individual contracts (routes). Providers can join at any time, contracts will be of varying lengths, admittance onto the DPS is not a guarantee of work, the council may decide to provide transport in-house, and the total value for the duration of the DPS will not exceed £75M excluding VAT.
