Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has initiated a tender for the "PAN2061 - Vulnerable Passenger Transport Services Framework," aimed at providing transport services for vulnerable individuals, including children, young people, and adults. This procurement is categorised under transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation and is set in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The tender period concluded on 17th January 2020, with the contract period commencing on 4th January 2021 and lasting until 3rd January 2023. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with an estimated contract value of £22,416,400.

This tender offers significant opportunities for local transport companies, particularly those specializing in taxi services equipped to handle varying passenger needs, such as vehicles with wheelchair accessibility and trained drivers for specific medical conditions. Suitable businesses include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the transport industry that can provide additional support through passenger assistants and are accustomed to managing both planned and on-demand journeys. Companies interested in partnering with Leicester City Council could see business growth by engaging in this framework, as the demand for transport services is driven by fluctuating needs within the community.

Notice Information

Notice Title

PAN2061 - Vulnerable Passenger Transport Services Framework

Notice Description

Leicester City Council (the Council) invites Tenders for the provision of vulnerable passenger transport services. The proposed Framework Agreement will be for two years with an option to extend for a period or periods totalling no more than a further two years. We anticipate that 20 Providers shall be awarded a place on Framework Agreement. The Council procures journeys for children, young people and adult service users, as well as for Council staff using taxi providers. These journeys are commonly planned e.g. trips to and from school or unplanned e.g. one-off journeys to an appointment. These taxi journeys supplement those provided by the Council's fleet of in-house buses. A given service user may be transported exclusively by taxi or bus or a combination of the two. Service users using taxis require additional support or supervision which is provided through a passenger assistant, arranged by the taxi provider. Some service users using taxis have additional needs of the vehicle e.g. the size of vehicle or ramps and wheelchair accessibility. Some service users need the driver and/or passenger assistant to have specialist training e.g. how to help someone with a medical condition such as epilepsy. The service is demand led and the volume of work may therefore increase or decrease over time. In 2018-19, approximately 200,000 journeys were commissioned.
