5 Passenger Transport Contract Tenders PDF 212 KB
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise,
Community and Resources, on Passenger Transport Contract Tenders.
The Board was advised that the Council’s Transportation Co-ordination
section was responsible for a complex range of passenger transport contracts
and arrangements for vulnerable children and adults. It was reported that the
Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) was a mechanism for the
Council to identify transport providers capable of delivering the specialist
nature of transport contracts on its behalf. The DPS process provided a
platform to advertise long term and short term contracts over a reduced
advertising period.
Members were advised that the DPS process had the potential to attract
additional transport suppliers which would enable extra capacity to cope with
the volume of contract work which the Council required.
RESOLVED: That
1) the
Passenger Transport Contract Tenders on behalf of designated specialist
assessment departments within the People Directorate be acknowledged; and
2) the
Board support the requirement to tender and procure passenger transport
contracts through an electronic DPS process.
