Description
On 9.7.2014 Cardiff Council established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) under which to operate all procurement activity for the provision of high quality and cost effective Passenger Transport via the Proactis portal https://www.proactisplaza.com/supplierportal/Public/Opportunities.aspx
The total value of the DPS over the contract period for all four Lots is GBP 28 000 000.
Cardiff Council has a duty to provide transport in accordance with The Learner Travel (Wales) Measure 2008. The Council is responsible for providing a safe and secure transport service for approximately 850 Special Educational Needs (SEN) pupils and 6 000 mainstream pupils. This is an essential service that Cardiff Council offers to children and families across the city.
The type of transport the Council provides includes Home to School transport service for children in mainstream education and children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), Children and Adult Services, County ride bus services, Ad Hoc Taxis and Minibus / Coach hire, and any other passenger transport services (excluding Park & Ride services, which are managed separately). On certain routes there is a requirement for regular drivers, and/or passenger assistants/escorts. All aspects relating to the above passenger transport requirements are managed by the Council's in-house passenger transport team. The Council also has powers to provide scheduled local bus services to meet public transport requirements which would otherwise not be met; these are scheduled public passenger transport services that transport citizens within the boundary of Cardiff County Council and across neighbouring council boundaries, when the Council provides additional subsided services.
It is the intention of the Council to use reverse e Auctions to award new contracts through the Dynamic Purchasing System.
Cardiff Council is managing this procurement process in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (the ‘Regulations’) as amended.
The DPS is split into four Lots; suppliers will be able to bid for one or more Lots as follows —
— Lot 1 Vehicle over 17 Seats
