In plain English

North Northamptonshire Council is looking for a supplier to provide passenger transport services. This is a very large contract worth around £69 million, likely covering bus services, school transport, or similar passenger movement services across the council area.

What the buyer wants

• Provide passenger transport services (likely including vehicles, drivers, scheduling, and operational management) • Meet service standards and safety requirements for public passenger transport • Operate a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), meaning the council will call off services as needed rather than committing to fixed volumes upfront

Likely requirements

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

This contract is extremely unlikely to be accessible to small businesses because it requires a £69 million annual spend capability, complex fleet management infrastructure, public transport operating licenses, and the financial strength to operate multiple vehicles and employ numerous drivers. Only established transport operators with significant resources can compete.

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.
