Businesses with experience in specialised transport services, such as special educational needs (SEN), will find this contract particularly aligned with their expertise. Though not targeting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), established taxi service providers with existing capabilities to participate in dynamic purchasing systems will be apt competitors.
