Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Westminster City Council is currently undergoing a public procurement process titled "Passenger Transport (Taxis) and Travel Care Framework for Vulnerable Children, Young People and Adults." This procurement, initiated on 31st January 2022, focuses on the service industry, specifically taxi services, within the geographical areas of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. The procurement stage is active, with the deadline for bid submissions set for 7th March 2022, and a clarification request deadline of 18th February 2022 at 16:00. The total budget allocated for this framework is approximately £15,238,568, aiming to establish a reliable transport service for vulnerable groups, including children with special educational needs and vulnerable adult residents.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in passenger transport, particularly those equipped to provide services tailored to vulnerable populations. Companies offering a range of vehicles, such as cars, black cabs, and wheelchair-accessible options, will be particularly well-suited for this tender. Furthermore, businesses that can ensure consistent service delivery and demonstrate the capacity to meet the specific needs of passengers, including those requiring additional assistance, will have a competitive advantage. Participation in this framework could open doors to sustained contracts with local authorities, enhancing business growth and visibility within the community.

Notice Title

Passenger Transport (Taxis) and Travel Care Framework for vulnerable Children, Young People and Adults

Notice Description

The Authorities are looking to retender this service and establish a new framework which continues to fulfil the statutory requirements to be safe and appropriate, whilst deriving value for money and maintaining current high-quality standards. The service will predominately be used by: 1)Pupils of Westminster City Council (WCC) and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea (RBKC) with Special Educational Needs and/or disabilities needing transport to and from school/college. 2) Vulnerable Adult Residents of WCC and RBKC needing travel to and from Day Services and other establishments as part of their social care provision. 3) Looked After Children (LAC) and Young People and Children in Need (CIN). These children and young people may have complex needs or a significant disability and/or additional needs that impact upon their daily lives. The requirement is for a number of providers to deliver transport services using a range of vehicles with up to 8 passenger seats including: cars, black cabs, people-carriers and wheelchair accessible vehicles. Passenger Assistants will be required on some routes to provide support to service users who have additional needs. The service requirements are being re-procured through a multi-provider framework, split across two Lots: - Lot 1: Scheduled Journeys where consistency of driver, vehicle and where required, passenger assistance, is absolutely critical to the successful delivery of the service - Lot 2: Ad-hoc journeys for occasions when either Authority needs quick and efficient taxi provision to transport a range of service users sometimes at extremely short notice.
