Notice Information

Notice Title

The Provision of Passenger Transport Management System

Notice Description

The Council would like to invite Suppliers to submit a Tender for selection of a single Supplier to provide a cloud-based system that will support the council in its duty to provide travel assistance to more than 1,500 eligible children, young people and adults each year, including children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), children looked after, care experienced young people and adults receiving social care support. The Preliminary Market notice for this requirement was published on the 20th May 2024 link is here: Pre-Market Engagement for the provision of Combined PatOps and Taxi Brokerage System - Contracts Finder The contract has not been divided into lots because splitting the requirement would create significant integration and interoperability risks, increase implementation and transition complexity, and undermine the need for a single, cohesive end-to-end transport management solution; furthermore, using multiple suppliers would impose a disproportionate contract-management burden on the authority, while a single-supplier approach delivers stronger economies of scale and better overall value for money
