Public road transport services
Fife Council and Fife College have established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the supply of transport services principally for the conveyance of children and young people to schools and other educational establishments. The DPS may also be used to provide replacement transport services where roadworks prevent a local bus service from serving its normal route and for the provision of other transport services, including the transport of school meals.
Contracts operated through this DPS can generally be undertaken by taxis, private hire cars and minibuses, including the requirement for some of these vehicles to be capable of carrying passengers in wheelchairs. All journeys required will be organised, booked and managed by Fife Council or Fife College staff.
Contracts under the DPS will be awarded following mini competitions.
