Market engagement is being done in a form of a questionnaire. This questionnaire is not a procurement exercise and responses will not be evaluated or scored. The information provided will be used solely to inform the final design of the framework and associated processes. WCC welcomes responses from existing suppliers, new entrants, SMEs, voluntary organisations and specialist providers. You can complete the questionnaire at: https://forms.office.com/e/XAVdirm0PT (copy paste this link into your browser). Responses must be received by 24th April 2026, 4pm. If any of the questions do not apply to you, please put \"N/A\".",

The primary purpose of the framework is to create an accessible, flexible and proportionate route to market, particularly for local SMEs, micro-providers and sole traders, while ensuring that statutory transport services are delivered safely, reliably and sustainably. The framework is expected to operate as an open framework, allowing new suppliers to apply at defined points during its lifetime. Anticipated lots include: * Lot 1 - Passenger Transport Services (e.g. taxis, private hire, minibuses, coaches) * Lot 2 - Specialist Passenger Transport Services (e.g. SEND and Adult Social Care transport) * Lot 3 - Transport Fleet & Vehicles * Lot 4 - Transport Infrastructure & Technology * Lot 5 - Transport Consultancy & Professional Services",
