In plain English

Warwickshire County Council is setting up a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) to buy bus transport services, including school buses and local bus routes. They're looking for experienced bus operators to join this system, which will run for 7 years. Buses must have at least 9 seats.

• Operate and provide bus transport services (school runs and local services) • Supply vehicles with a minimum capacity of 9 seats • Maintain services throughout the 7-year contract period • Meet all regulatory requirements for passenger transport

Likely requirements

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

This contract is realistic only for established bus operators with existing fleets, regulatory licenses, and proven experience: most small trades and solo operators will be automatically excluded. The £150 million budget masks that this is a pre-qualified framework where you must already be operating buses commercially.

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.
