  • 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. 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.Value not stated

Review Details
The Vale of Glamorgan Council will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the Council before the contract is entered into. Applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request additional debriefing and that information has to be provided a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be requested from the Council. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 20014 (SI 2006 No 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 3 months). Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may only award damages.
