"description": "This is an Open Framework for the provision of taxi and travel care services for vulnerable children and young people who are residents of Westminster or the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The Framework will be opened for new applications at specified intervals during its term, in accordance with the Open Framework model. Suppliers admitted to the Framework will have met the published selection and compliance requirements set out in the procurement documents. Once admitted, suppliers will be eligible for call-off opportunities relating to individual transport requirements. Call-offs may be made via further competition or via a matrix-based allocation approach, depending on the nature and urgency of the requirement. Allocation may consider factors such as price, vehicle suitability, safeguarding compliance, available capacity, and suitability for the specific transport route. The Framework is designed to provide flexibility and support a competitive market capable of meeting a wide range of home-to-school and social care transport needs, including varying route patterns and differing levels of support required by service users. Full details of the Framework rules, application windows, evaluation criteria, onboarding process, and call-off methodology are provided within the procurement documents made available through the e-tendering portal as detailed within this notice.",

This structure allows suppliers (inclusive of SMEs) to join at set intervals and be matched flexibly to individual transport requirements. Dividing the procurement into fixed lots would limit the flexibility needed to respond to variable and unpredictable transport routes, changing pupil needs, and market capacity. The matrix model provides a more efficient and equitable way to allocate work while maintaining open competition throughout the life of the Framework series."
