Description

Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of public bus services throughout the County of Hampshire.

The DPS commencement date is 1st May 2016 for a period of 5 years with an option to extend by annual increments up to a maximum of 10 years.

Interested parties should register their interest in the project via the In-Tend website https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire and complete and submit the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) together with any supporting information requested by 2:00pm on 08 February 2016 (for the initial set up of the DPS). If you miss the initial DPS set up or fail at the initial PQQ stage, you are able to reapply once the DPS is awarded 1 May 2016. From 1 May 2016 onwards a PQQ can be submitted at anytime up until 30.4.2026.

The Contracting Authority views that the range of services to be procured during this tender should be awarded as a multiple supplier DPS and seeks applications from suitably experienced suppliers who wish to pre-qualify for this service. Whilst every effort has been made to consider the full scope of the requirement, the Contracting Authority does not guarantee the volume of the services required resulting from this DPS or that it will accept any prequalification on completion of the procurement exercise.

At the discretion of the Council, if a supplier ceases to meet the original exclusion or selection criteria during the course of the DPS it is likely that it may be excluded or suspended from taking part in any Mini-Competition Tendering process. If a supplier fails one of the mandatory grounds during the course of the DPS the County Council may be required to remove the supplier from the DPS.
