CPC/KB/02/2023: Student Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)

Opportunity overview

CPC intends to put a DPS in place with multiple suppliers for the supply of Student Transport Services. A “Student Transport Service” is any form of transport relating to student in an educational environment, and the following are examples of what Student Transport might constitute: - • Scheduled Bus services from point A to B with pickups on route. • Organised coach trips to points of interest and education visits. Any resulting DPS agreement resulting from this exercise will be available to Further Education Institutions, Universities, Sixth Forms, Academies, Schools, Museums and other similar organisations who are CPC Members (https://www.thecpc.ac.uk/members/regions.php) and all CPC future members (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/get-information-about-schools). Local Authorities may also wish to use the resulting framework when procuring on behalf of Educational Establishments.
