The brief

The Council wishes to appoint a number of providers to provide taxis services, predominantly for home to school transport but will also for other Council departments.

A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) agreement will be setup, where providers will be able to join at any time during the contract period.

A DPS is a completely electronic system; it does not operate in the same way as a traditional contract in that it is an 'open market' product designed to provide access to a pool of providers which can be constantly refreshed.

Establishing a DPS with multiple providers will create an environment which encourages fair competition and allows providers to join at any time and choose whether to compete for all or any of the competitions.
