Summary of the contracting process

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is initiating a procurement process planned for an annual Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) call-off for SEN taxi services in Wakefield, with contracts spanning from 2nd September 2026 to 1st September 2027. This procurement, in the planning stage and following the legal framework of the UK Public Procurement Act 2023/54, falls under the services category with a particular focus on road transport and taxi services. The procurement, valued at £4.8 million, is above the threshold, indicating a substantial opportunity for suppliers in the region. A future notice is expected by 12th June 2026.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in road transport services, particularly those focusing on taxi services, aiming at the special educational needs (SEN) sector. The planned setup for the DPS allows for a more regular and potentially lucrative flow of work over the one-year contract period. Companies with proven track records in providing reliable and compliant transport solutions, especially those equipped to meet SEN requirements, would be well-positioned to compete. The inclusion of multiple lots allows flexibility and the possibility for businesses of various scales to participate in this public procurement opportunity.
