This initiative falls under the transport services category and is predominantly located within Nottinghamshire, but may extend to other regions in the UK. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 10th December 2020, and the contract is anticipated to span from 3rd March 2021 to 3rd March 2024. The estimated total contract value is £7.5 million, with services being awarded based on price. Bidders may compete for any or all of the six lots available, each specifying different passenger capacities and vehicle requirements, adhering to PSV legislation or relevant permits. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those that can provide vehicles of various capacities, including wheelchair-accessible options. Companies involved in short-term or emergency transport solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the framework mandates short-term bookings which may be cancelled at any time. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the tender's inclusion of provisions that favour diverse service suppliers, thereby enabling greater competition and innovation within the transport sector. ## Notice Nottinghamshire County Council is seeking tenders from service Providers who wish to provide ad-hoc transport services.
