Competition

Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 25 awards in the last 12 months).

Dynamic purchasing system

Suppliers join a list the buyer can call on. You can usually apply at any time while it is open, and work is awarded later through smaller competitions between members.

What the notice says

The Council wishes to establish a dynamic market for the provision of passenger transport services over several Lots that will include Taxi, Minibus, Buses and wheelchair accessible vehicles.

  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
