The tender is currently in the award stage, with contracts set to be delivered within and bordering the North Lanarkshire area. Submissions were received until 3rd July 2019, and the expected contract value is approximately £1,500,000. This procurement follows an open procedure and involves ensuring that all drivers and any required escorts are fully licensed, insured, and registered with Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG).

Businesses that possess the necessary licensing, insurance, and capability to meet the specific requirements of each contract, including offering wheelchair-accessible vehicles, will be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms providing qualified personnel to fulfill escort duties will also find opportunities through this tender, which may enhance their portfolio and establish long-term relationships with public sector clients.
