The aim of the DPS is to provide reliable, high-quality and cost effective transport for service users of both Councils. The DPS is being established in accordance with the Restricted Procedure under the PCR 2015. The DPS has been split into 5 Lots. All applicants that meet the selection criteria of the Lot/s they apply for will be admitted to the DPS. Job/journey orders will be awarded to suppliers through a mini-competition process. The estimated annual spend through the DPS is £2.6m.

The Contract under the DPS will be split into 5 lots as follows:
Lot 1: Regular Assigned Driver Only
Lot 2: Regular Assigned Driver with Passenger Attendant
