Description
South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) has introduced a Dynamic Purchase System (DPS) to appoint public transport operators to provide socially necessary public transport and client services in South Gloucestershire. Operators wishing to provide these services for SGC will be required to complete a DPS application process, in order to join and become an Admitted Participant (AP). Periodically, SGC will then advertise contracts through the DPS for which all suitable APs can then bid.
The DPS is expected to run for a minimum of four-years, but is likely operate much longer.
SGC is intending to advertise its first DPS call-off contract early next year. Operators wishing to be considered for this opportunity should therefore aim to complete the AP applications process before the end of December 2022.
