Overview
To correct the extension of the established Dynamic Purchasing System (“DPS”) for the procurement of passenger transport services, excluding local bus services until March 2028 The Vale of Glamorgan Council is publishing this Notice in relation to the existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services (excluding Local Bus Services).
The Contract Notice published on 5 August 2025 under reference 2025/S 000-046223 incorrectly stated the end date of the DPS as 31 July 2026. The Council has identified that this was an administrative error in the published notice.
The intended end date of the DPS was 31 March 2028. This notice therefore corrects the previously published information so that the published record accurately reflects the intended period of validity of the DPS.
Additional details
To correct an error contained within the Extension notice Organisations are invited to submit a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire to gain access to the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System (“DPS”) for Passenger Transport Services. Successful applicants to the DPS will then, via mini competitions, be requested to submit offers for a variety of Passenger Transport Services, including Mainstream and Additional Learning Needs (“ALN”) School Transport services.
