    Brief

    Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (BMBC) is seeking transport service providers for its Summer 2026 contract refresh under its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). BMBC has a statutory obligation to provide home-to-school transport for eligible children (both SEN and non-SEN) and transport services for vulnerable adults to day centres under the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970 and 1986. Services are required during school term time within and outside the Borough of Barnsley, covering daily, weekly, fortnightly, or termly journeys. This is a call-off from the original DPS framework (96182). Route-specific locations are not disclosed to protect student privacy. Contracts include initial periods with potential extensions if no fundamental route changes occur during future summer refreshes. Suppliers should note that the total contract value reflects the full anticipated duration including potential extensions.
