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

This is an extension for the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services. The Authority is extending the validity of its existing DPS for a further 22 month period until 23 February 2029. Please note that organisations can apply to join the Council's DPS at any time during its validity if they satisfy the selection criteria and none of the grounds for exclusion apply. For the avoidance of doubt, those suppliers that are already on the existing DPS do not need to respond to this contract notice as they are already admitted.
