The procurement process is in the active stage, with the tender period closing on 9th June 2019. The contract is valued at £75 million and is classified under transport services excluding waste transport. The successful execution of this tender will span from 10th June 2019 to 9th June 2029, focusing on operations within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector entities (VCSEs) due to its inclusive approach to supplier selection. Businesses providing taxi services, especially those operating wheelchair-accessible vehicles or offering demand-responsive transport solutions, would be particularly well-suited to compete. As suppliers can join at any point during the duration of the dynamic purchasing system (DPS), this initiative not only ensures a steady stream of contracts but also fosters long-term partnerships with the Council, enhancing potential business growth. ## Notice Leicestershire County Council ("the Council") provides transport for a variety of service users including those accessing Children and Young People's and Adult Social Care services. Their specific needs are co-ordinated by our in-house Transport Operations (TO) Service based at County Hall in Leicestershire. The dates are indicate that of the DPS. You can join up until any point until the end of the contract date. As long as Suppliers can meet the minimum requirements for entry onto the DPS, there are no restrictions on who can or cannot join. There are also no restrictions on when a Supplier can apply to join during the period of the DPS. The intention of the DPS is to appoint suitable Operators of Taxis to whom LCC will let individual Contracts following a 'further competition'; specifically: * The provision of both a driver and vehicle. * The operation of Taxis of various seating capacities. * The operation of Taxis of various configurations and specifications including wheelchair accessible vehicles. * The carriage of a variety of service users including children, vulnerable adults and those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). * The operation of Taxi services in and around the County of Leicestershire and City of Leicester. * The operation of Taxis with or without an escort, as required for individual services. * The operation of Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) services, including those that collect fares.
