In plain English

Vale of Glamorgan Council is extending their Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which is an approved list of suppliers, for passenger transport services (like minibuses and coach hire) excluding local buses, running until March 2028. This is worth approximately £1.25 million. They are correcting/updating the terms of an existing arrangement rather than running a fresh tender.

What the buyer wants

• Provide passenger transport services such as minibus hire, coach services, or similar transport (excluding regular local bus routes) • Be registered on their DPS (Dynamic Purchasing System) to be eligible to bid for individual journeys/contracts as they arise • Meet their terms and conditions for the extended period until March 2028

Likely requirements

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

This is a DPS extension, not an open tender, so you can only bid if you are already registered on their existing DPS scheme; new suppliers will struggle to join mid-term unless the Council explicitly reopens the DPS. Small transport operators without formal operator's licensing or robust insurance are unlikely to qualify.

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.
