Summary of the contracting process

The North Lanarkshire Council is initiating a procurement process for the transport of school pupils with Additional Support Needs (ASN) from 2018 to 2021, with the planned contract notice to be released in April 2018. This opportunity falls under the services category and encompasses delivery within North Lanarkshire. The total estimated value of the contracts is £4,570,000, and the procurement method is expected to follow a traditional tendering approach, as indicated in the early information notice. Interested parties should prepare for the upcoming tender process, which will require submission of the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) and a detailed tender proposal.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specialising in transport services, particularly those experienced in providing transport for individuals with additional support needs. Firms that can demonstrate robust safety and insurance qualifications, including PVG registration for drivers and escorts, will be particularly well-suited for bidding. The anticipated volume of around 150 individual contracts will allow for substantial participation from diverse service providers, enhancing local business growth within the region.
