This DPS is operational for 6 8 years, during this time suppliers may apply to join the DPS. Once on this DPS list, suppliers will be invited to tender for all the council's transport requirements.

Passenger transport is an ongoing requirement and once this DPS expires (June 2027) (23rd of February 2029) a renewed procurement is likely to take place.
