Public Bus DPS

Surrey County Council began operating the Public Bus DPS in January 2015 and issued a OJEU notice prior to that in November 2014. In January 2017 East Sussex County Council and West Sussex County Council join the DPS and will be procuring Public Bus services through it. The purpose of this updated notice is to inform the market of this change, and of the change to the term of the DPS. The DPS has been designed to be compliant with new Public Contract Regulations and Public Contract Directives 2015 and as of 1.2.2017 will begin operating under the new regulations. The new regulations impose no limit on the term of a DPS and so it will last up to 22 January 2025. Up to this date the procurement documents will be available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at on our E-sourcing Portal Proactis for Surrey County Council, and InTend for East Sussex County Council and West Sussex County Council.
