Summary of the contracting process

Stoke-on-Trent City Council is conducting a selective procurement process for providing transport services for vulnerable children and adults in the region of UKG23. The tender, titled "Transport Services for Vulnerable Children and Adults (DPS) - ASCHIW/2022/316*", falls under the industry category of transport services (excluding waste transport) and involves services such as taxi, minibus, and coach transportation. Legal and procedural matters adhere to the CELEX ID 32014L0024 under a restricted procedure with a dynamic purchasing system in place. The procurement stage has reached completion with various contracts signed, worth a cumulative amount of £56,557,950. Key stakeholders in this procurement include the Stoke-on-Trent City Council as the buying authority, and a diverse range of suppliers awarded contracts starting from January 2024 to June 2026. The contracts were awarded as part of a Dynamic Purchasing System intended to last until July 2033 with possible extensions of two 12-month periods.

This tender offers diverse opportunities for business growth, particularly for operators specialising in transport services for individuals with disabilities and complex needs. The comprehensive requirements outlined in the lot details, including various vehicle types such as cars up to large buses, present viable opportunities for taxi, minibus, and coach service providers looking to expand into public sector contracts. The tender is well-suited for SMEs as a significant number of the awarded suppliers fall into this category, demonstrating the Council's commitment to fostering inclusive growth among smaller and regional operators. Prospective suppliers poised to provide fully-compliant, dedicated service will find this tender a fitting occasion to collaborate with a leading local authority while delivering essential services to some of the community's most vulnerable members.
