How do I win Transport services (excl. Waste transport) contracts in Wales?

SEND transport tenders are usually route-based DPS mini-competitions — join the DPS, then price routes realistically including driver/passenger-assistant costs and dead mileage. Safeguarding evidence (enhanced DBS, training records), vehicle accessibility and punctuality data win quality scores; councils are actively re-shoring routes from failed low-ball bids, so credible pricing now beats cheapest. Register on Sell2Wales and eTenderWales — Welsh buyers use them as the primary route, including for sub-threshold notices. Bids are scored on well-being and social-partnership duties (the Well-being of Future Generations Act shapes evaluation questions), and Welsh-language service capability is a genuine requirement for citizen-facing contracts, so address it explicitly rather than ignoring it.
