The procurement is in the planning stage with an open procedure method. The tender period concluded on 20th January 2019, with a total contract value of £16 million, and the services will be contracted from 1st February 2019 to 31st July 2023. The primary location for this service is in the East of England. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those that can cater to the needs of children and individuals with SEND. Licensed operators, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), would find this framework especially relevant, as meeting its criteria allows for future bidding on new transport routes as they become available. Businesses interested in this opportunity should register via the Oracle Cloud eSourcing system to access subsequent bidding opportunities. ## Notice Thurrock Council is re-opening its Framework for Children's Transport Services. It is seeking licensed operators to transport both mainstream, and children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to and from school, as well as ad-hoc taxi services for children needing transport as a result of social care intervention. There are currently no new routes available, but meeting the criteria to be admitted to this Framework will enable you to be invited to bid for future routes as and when they become available. You will need to complete the Quality evaluation aspects of this tender and submit prices for some 'dummy' routes to gain entrance to the Framework. Thereafter your responses to invitation to submit bids for new routes will be judged solely on price.
