Description

The Borough Council of Calderdale (the Council) is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) with Service Providers who meet the Selection Criteria set out in the Selection Questionnaire (SQ) for home to school/college transport services in Calderdale. If selected, Service Providers will be eligible to bid for Services through mini-competitions issued under the DPS. The evaluation criteria for mini-competitions will be based on price only.

NOTE: please disregard the section where the "contract start date" and "contract end date" are stated as 01/08/28 and 02/08/28 - this is a system error!

Providers may apply to join the DPS by submitting a request to participate in the DPS at any point during the period of validity of the DPS. The period of validity of the DPS is 07/10/23 to 31/07/28. To submit a request to participate, providers must submit a completed SQ alongside the other documents referred to in the Invitation to Participate.

Mini-competitions may be issued by the Council to providers appointed to the DPS at any time between 21/11/23 and 31/07/28. It is anticipated that the first mini-competition will be issued on or shortly after 21/11/23.

The deadline for the receipt of Selection Questionnaires for Providers who wish to be eligible to submit a Bid in the first mini-competition will be 06/11/23.

A Bidders' event will be held in person on Council premises on Thursday 19th October between 11am and 1pm (details of precise location TBC via YORtender message). There will also be the option for Service Providers to attend this virtually.
