Show full summary
This tender by Staffordshire County Council establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of transportation services for children (including Special Educational Needs) and adults (including disabilities and mental health) within Staffordshire, UK. The DPS covers hackney carriages, private hire vehicles, and passenger carrying vehicles. The estimated total value is £400,000,000 over a 20-year period (240 months). The procedure is restricted, with electronic submission via the Proactis e-tendering portal. The DPS is open for applications continuously, with evaluations typically within 10 days. However, the notice indicates tranches with earlier dates (2019) that are now past, and the current submission deadline is listed as 2039-08-31, likely a placeholder for an ongoing DPS. Mandatory requirements include valid operator's licenses (PSV or taxi) and specific insurance levels. No guaranteed volume of work is assured.
