Summary of the contracting process

The Leicester City Council is currently conducting a tender for the "PAN2061 - Vulnerable Passenger Transport Services Framework." This initiative focuses on providing transport services for vulnerable passengers, including children, young people, and adults, primarily within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The estimated contract value is £22,416,400 and is set to run from 1st August 2020 to 31st July 2022, with the possibility of two additional years. The tender is at the open procurement stage, and submissions are due by 17th January 2020.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses looking to expand in the transport services sector, particularly those specialising in taxi services that cater to vulnerable populations. Entities with experience in providing tailored transport solutions, particularly those that offer vehicles equipped for wheelchair access and staff trained for supporting passengers with specific needs, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this framework agreement. With an anticipated 200,000 journeys commissioned annually, successful bidders can significantly increase their business operations and service impact.

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.
