Description

The Council wishes to appoint a number of providers to provide taxis services, predominantly for home to school transport but will also for other Council departments.

A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) agreement will be setup, where providers will be able to join at any time during the contract period.

A DPS is a completely electronic system; it does not operate in the same way as a traditional contract in that it is an 'open market' product designed to provide access to a pool of providers which can be constantly refreshed. Establishing a DPS with multiple providers will create an environment which encourages fair competition and allows providers to join at any time and choose whether to compete for all or any of the competitions.

Please register via the Council`s e-procurement system - CSW-JETS http://www.csw-jets.co.uk/

CSW-JETS is a sub-regional e-tendering portal run by In-tend. Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal.

CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities.

Registration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils'/Authorities' opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work.

Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation.
