II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Wrexham County Borough Council is looking to establish a new Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the purpose of obtaining quotes for various education and social care transport requirements, as well as ad-hoc taxi requirements. This DPS will cover any home to school and social care transport requirements that arise. This may include requirements for PVC buses, 16 seat mini buses and taxi services.
A DPS is a procurement tool with aspects similar to a framework agreement, but where new suppliers can join at any time and it must be run as a complete electronic process. The DPS is a two-stage process. Firstly all suppliers who meet the selection criteria and are not excluded will be admitted to the DPS, and new suppliers can apply to join the DPS at any point during its lifetime. Individual contracts are awarded during the second stage; WCBC will invite all suppliers on the DPS to bid for contracts. The DPS will be administered electronically via Bravo e-Tenderwales solution.
Full details can be found within the tender documentation.
