Summary of the contracting process

The tender, with a total value of £3 million, is classified under transport services (excluding waste transport).

The council is using the open procurement method, inviting all experienced transport operators that possess a St Helens Council contract driver badge to participate in this opportunity.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the transportation sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), due to the council's emphasis on inclusivity in the bidding process. Companies that specialise in school transport, private hire services, or have a proven track record in handling the specific needs of educational transport will be well positioned to compete effectively. The procurement offers a chance for growth, as successful bidders would secure long-term contracts with a local authority, which can lead to further opportunities in related service areas.
