As per the short description, Perth & Kinross Council are seeking to invite passenger vehicle operators to participate in a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) which will be used to procure transport related “service contracts” operated by Public Service Vehicles (PSV). Operators may join the DPS at any point during its validity if they satisfy the selection criteria and none of the grounds for exclusion apply. Under the DPS, contracts awarded will be subject to a tendering process (i.e. mini-competition) with all operators who have been admitted to the DPS being invited to tender.
