In plain English

Leicestershire County Council is running a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to buy large passenger transport services for schools, special education needs, and social care. They need operators with vehicles that seat 9 or more passengers. This notice just confirms the system has been extended until February 2029.

Likely requirements

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

This is a DPS framework for ongoing transport operations: you must hold or be able to obtain a PCV operator licence, enhanced DBS clearance, and maintain compliance with passenger transport regulations. Most sole traders and very small firms without existing transport operations will struggle unless you already run a transport business.

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.
