## Summary

The Kingston upon Hull City Council has completed a public procurement process titled "Taxi & Small Bus Services. Mini Competition" aimed at securing transport services for Education and Social Care under a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The procurement method used was selective, employing a restricted procedure. Key dates include a tender end date of 23 January 2017 and a contract period commencing on 24 April 2017, set to last for two to four years depending on vehicle category. The contracts are valued at approximately £1.5 million, with a minimum threshold of £1.4 million for the services categorized under road transport.

This tender provides significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that operate in the transport sector.
