In plain English

Cambridgeshire County Council is looking for transport operators to provide home-to-school and social care transport services. They're using a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which is an open list where you can apply to join and bid for work on an ongoing basis, rather than a one-off tender.

What the buyer wants

• Provide transport services for schoolchildren (mainstream and special educational needs), children in social care, and adults in social care • Operate vehicles and manage routes across Cambridgeshire • Be available to bid for work opportunities posted regularly through the DPS platform

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most one-person or very small operators will struggle. This contract requires you to hold an operator license, maintain a fleet of vehicles, carry enhanced DBS checks, and manage complex safeguarding responsibilities across multiple vulnerable client groups.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
