Description

The Borough Council of Calderdale (the Council) is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) with Service Providers who meet the Selection Criteria set out in the Selection Questionnaire (SQ) for home to school/college transport services in Calderdale. If selected, Service Providers will be eligible to bid for Services through mini-competitions issued under the DPS. The evaluation criteria for mini-competitions will be based on price only.

NOTE: please disregard the section where the "contract start date" and "contract end date" are stated as 01/08/28 and 02/08/28 - this is a system error!

Providers may apply to join the DPS by submitting a request to participate in the DPS at any point during the period of validity of the DPS. The period of validity of the DPS is 07/10/23 to 31/07/28. To submit a request to participate, providers must submit a completed SQ alongside the other documents referred to in the Invitation to Participate.

Mini-competitions may be issued by the Council to providers appointed to the DPS at any time between 21/11/23 and 31/07/28. It is anticipated that the first mini-competition will be issued on or shortly after 21/11/23.

The deadline for the receipt of Selection Questionnaires for Providers who wish to be eligible to submit a Bid in the first mini-competition will be 06/11/23.

A Bidders' event will be held in person on Council premises on Thursday 19th October between 11am and 1pm (details of precise location TBC via YORtender message). There will also be the option for Service Providers to attend this virtually.

BSIP Consultancy Support

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (YNYCA) is procuring consultancy support to help produce the new Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) for York and North Yorkshire, as part of the Combined Authority's duties as a Local Transport Authority. While this work will build on the existing BSIPs produced by the City of York Council (CYC) and North Yorkshire Council (NYC), it should set out a path to deliver the Mayor's ambition to significantly improve the quality of bus services across the YNYCA area. As part of this work we will also require the consultants to set out a detailed plan for how the current Enhanced Partnerships (EPs), which CYC and NYC have in place, could be replaced by a new YNYCA-wide EP. All tender documentation can be found on Yortender by using the reference number 105901.

Fleetwood to Knott End Ferry Service

Tenders are being invited from Operators on the basis that the Contract will be for a period of 3 years with the option of a 2-year extension, commencing on 12 April 2026. The successful Operator will enter into a Lease of the Ferry Dock (including buildings) and Knott End slipway defined in the Contract to assist in the performance of the Ferry Service. The contract is to provide an annual passenger ferry service between Fleetwood and Knott End. The service is classed as Inland waters - Category C - Tidal river, estuary where the significant wave height could not be expected to exceed 1.2m at any time. It is subject to tidal restrictions which may reduce the number of sailings possible. The Service will operate at least once per hour from 7.45am to 5.45pm, subject to tidal and weather restrictions, throughout the summer (Easter Sunday to 31 October) with reduced hours in the Winter months. The Operator may choose to operate additional sailings at any time at his discretion. The Operator is required to provide a ferry vessel, suitably qualified staff, and to be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Service. The anticipated vessel size would, as a minimum, be registered as a Small Commercial Vessel and certified under the MCA's Code of Practice. The vessel will be registered to operate within Area Category 4 and will carry no more than twelve passengers per journey. Based on current usage, it is estimated that the ferry vessel will carry 30,000 - 40,000 passengers per annum. The operator will retain all fares including slipway launch fees at Knott End slipway.
