The DPS will be split into several service categories and regions in the UK. The categories covered under the DPS at this stage includes, but is not limited to the following:
Category 1: Booking and Eligibility Assessment Services;
Category 2: Core Patient Transport Services;
Category 3: Mental Health and Secure Transport Services;
Category 4: High Dependency Transport Services.
Category 5: Taxi and Passenger Transport Services.
Additional categories may be added at a future date.
In the initial stage, all suppliers who meet the selection criteria will be admitted to the DPS with no limit on the number of suppliers per category. Individual contracts are awarded during the second stage where contracting authorities will invite all suppliers on the DPS for the category and location required, to bid for a specific contract. Bidders should refer to 2020/S 098-236226 for full details.
