Description

London Borough of Ealing (LBE) wish to procure a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for All Age Passenger Transport for people with disabilities during January /February 2020, to commence in April 2020, for a duration of 5 years with two possibilities of two year extensions.
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.
Currently LBE spends circa £7m per annum. 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 its proposed lifetime.
