This open procurement process has a tender period ending on 12th June 2020, with the contract set to commence on 3rd August 2020 and lasting until 2nd August 2024. The services required involve scheduled transportation using specialist vehicles, with an emphasis on ensuring that all journeys have a Passenger Assistant due to the specific needs of the service users. The location for service delivery is within the borough of Barking, London. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in transportation services, including vehicle hire and the provision of assistance for vulnerable individuals. Companies that offer specialised vehicles that can accommodate disabilities and have trained staff to assist passengers would be well-suited for this contract. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly encouraged to participate in this tendering process, allowing them to expand their market presence and contribute to community needs. ## Notice This framework is let on behalf of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and the London Borough of Redbridge. The Local Authority has a duty to 'make arrangements for all service users who cannot reasonably be expected to travel to school because of their mobility problems or because of associated Health and Safety issues relating to their special educational needs or disability (SEND). The Contract covers the transportation of service users on various regular scheduled journeys using specialist vehicles. Service users using the service are likely to be vulnerable and may suffer from a severe learning disability, have behaviour which can be challenging, have sensory or hearing difficulties, an autistic spectrum disorder or another physical disability. Because of these needs, all journeys will require that a Passenger Assistant be provided to accompany them.
