Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Slough Borough Council is initiating a tender for "Home to School Transport for Slough Borough Council 2022-23," aimed at providing transportation services for the academic year 2022/23. This procurement falls under the category of "Taxi services" and has a total budget of £2,000,000. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for organisations to express their interest to participate in the dynamic purchasing system set for 17th May 2022. The competition is expected to commence in June 2022, following a market engagement event on 25th May 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those capable of providing school transport services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited for this competition, as multiple bids for different routes can be submitted. With the possibility to optimise costs and the flexibility to bid on routes independently, businesses in this segment can position themselves favourably in response to the council’s needs, potentially leading to long-term contracts.
