## Summary

The Welland Procurement Unit is overseeing a public procurement process titled "Tender for Home to School Transport and Public Service Routes," which falls under the Road Transport Services category. This procurement, located in Oakham within the East Midlands, is currently in the award stage and was published on 10th September 2017. The total value of the contract is £1,630,000, with the contract period running from 31st August 2017 to 30th August 2022. Interested suppliers were required to submit their tenders by 2nd June 2017, through an open procedure approach.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that operate licensed transportation services such as buses and taxis. Companies capable of providing transport for school children, especially those with special educational needs (SEN), are particularly well-suited to compete. Moreover, businesses with staff qualified in first aid and existing procedures for background checks will have a competitive advantage, as these are required by the contracting authority.

## Notice

Rutland County Council requires the services of appropriately licensed Bus and Coach operators, and Hackney Carriage / Private Hire operators, to provide Local Buses, Home to School and Home to College transport on a number of bus and taxi routes. Tender documents show the routes available at the date of this Notice. Changes to routes may take place during the tender process, and / or during the currency of the contract. The taxi transport provision is for a mix of ages, and, particularly for the SEN taxis, for a range of abilities. Some of the taxi routes, which are defined in the tender documents, will require an escort (passenger assistant) with a suitable 1st-aid qualification. Drivers and escorts will need satisfactory DBS checks.
