Description
London Borough of Ealing wish to procure a Dynamic Purchasing System for All Age Passenger Transport for people with disabilities during late Summer and Autumn 2019, to commence in April 2020, for a duration of 5 years with two possibilities of two year extensions.
London Borough of Ealing (LBE) would like to invite interested providers to attend a Market Engagement Event on 17th July 2019 regarding the intended procurement of an All Age Transport Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to commence from April 2020 onwards. See details below;
Date: 17th July 2019
Time: 1.30pm - 3.30pm
Venue: Double Tree Hilton Hotel, 2-8 Hanger Lane, Ealing W5 3HN
Details of how to register for the evetn can be found at www.procontract.due-north.com, project reference DN416614
It is intended that the DPS would cover procurement of services for transporting vulnerable children and adults to a variety of schools, colleges and day centres.
Safety and wellbeing of vulnerable people is a crucially important factor in the procurement of these services. In addition, LBE is interested in providers who can offer sustainable low emission transport solutions. LBE is interested in engaging with a range of providers regarding market innovation in relation to passenger transport, including the use of technology and sustainability.
Currently LBE spends circa £7m per annum on the following;
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) home to School Transport,
College Transport,
Adults Day Centre
Ad hoc Transport Services for Children and Adults
Future use of the DPS cannot be specified at this stage, and volumes are not guaranteed. However as current LBE contracts for transport come to an end during 2020 and 2021, subject to governance and using a phased approach, it is envisaged that all Children's and Adult's transport routes, and ad hoc spend on taxis will be purchased via the DPS by use of e auctions or mini competitions during the lifetime of the planned DPS.
