Surrey County Council began operating the Public Bus DPS in January 2015 and issued a OJEU notice prior

to that in November 2014. In January 2017 East Sussex County Council and West Sussex County Council join

the DPS and will be procuring Public Bus services through it. The purpose of this updated notice is to inform the

market of this change, and of the change to the term of the DPS.

The DPS has been designed to be compliant with new Public Contract Regulations and Public Contract

Directives 2015 and as of 1.2.2017 will begin operating under the new regulations. The new regulations impose

no limit on the term of a DPS and so it will last for up to 22 January 2025.

Surrey County Council, East Sussex County Council and West Sussex County Council will be procuring their

requirements for the provision of public bus services through this Dynamic Purchasing System.
