Introduction of Dynamic Purchasing System for future transport procurement

In Spring 2020 the Council intends to introduce a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for any new procurements of public and school transport contracts. This will be advertised for expressions of interest in January.

The Council’s Transport and Procurement units are holding a series of seminars to explain the process to existing and potential suppliers. These seminars will also include consultation on changes to our Conditions of Contract.
