Guidance for Transport Operators on becoming an approved Transport provider
Buckinghamshire Council's Client Transport Team established a new Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) in January 2025. This is hosted by In-tend under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
As a transport provider, you can apply to be one of our approved transport operators providing transport for Children and/or Adults to and from various schools, day centres and other establishments.
The following steps need to be completed by the transport operator:
Stage 1 - Any Transport Operator interested in delivering Home to School Transport and/or Adult Social care transport will need to register on the In-tend portal.
Registration is easy and free and enables you to receive e-mail alerts about relevant opportunities as they arise.
When you register, you MUST request to participate in the DPS and pass all the requirements of the Standard Selection Questionnaire to become an approved transport operator.
Stage 2 - Once approved on to the DPS at Stage 1, Transport Operators will then be able to view and bid for available contracts (routes) on the specific Lot(s) for which they have been approved.
For further information on how the new DPS works and to apply to join please visit the In-tend portal.
