Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Wiltshire Council, seeking to establish a Passenger Transport Small and Specialist Vehicle Framework for reverse e-auctions. This initiative falls under the transport services industry and is located in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with a contract framework covering the entire region, including some out-of-county journeys. This process is aimed at appointing multiple suppliers to provide passenger transport services for vehicles with less than 16 seats. The framework will support various transport needs, including special educational transport and social care transport. The relevant contracts were signed on 1 February 2021.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the transport sector, particularly for those specialising in passenger transport services, including taxi services and transport for individuals with special needs. With the potential for multiple suppliers to be appointed, businesses with experience in delivering such services, including those focusing on educational, social care or demand-responsive transport, would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The reverse e-auction format promotes competitive pricing, which could encourage innovative solutions from bidders.
