North Ayrshire Council ("NAC") are responsible for the procurement of service transport contracts to meet the education and social care needs of children and vulnerable adults as well as other passenger or transport requirements. Most of the transport will be within the North Ayrshire area, but there will also be cross-boundary requirements ranging beyond the North Ayrshire area.
NAC is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (“DPS”) to procure these contracts. The DPS will be setup using the Restricted Procedure (with the caveat of no limit to the number of tenderers who qualify) and is open to any supplier who satisfies the selection criteria specified in this Contract Notice.
A DPS is a completely electronic system and is similar to a framework agreement but a key difference is that, unlike a framework agreement, suppliers can join a DPS at any time.
The DPS will commence on 1st April 2021 until 31st March 2027, with no option to extend.
The DPS will be split into the following categories:
Category 1 Wheelchair Accessible with Escort
Category 2 Wheelchair Accessible without Escort
Category 3 All Other Vehicle Types with Escort
Category 4 All Other Vehicle Types without Escort
Category 5 Ad Hoc Journeys
Contracts operated through this DPS can generally be undertaken by taxis, private hire cars, minibuses, wheelchair accessible vehicles and non-plated vehicles.
Bids are submitted through the buyer’s own portal, not on this site. Read the full notice on the publishing site before relying on any date here.
