## Summary

Sefton Council is inviting tenders for the Passenger Transport Framework Agreement, aimed at hiring passenger transport services such as buses, mini-buses, coaches, taxis, and private hire vehicles. This framework is open to the Liverpool City Region Authorities and their establishments, facilitating transport largely within Sefton and occasionally beyond. The contract will commence on 1st January 2022 and is scheduled to last for two years, with an option for two additional 12-month extensions. The estimated value of the contract is £52 million, with a minimum threshold of £25 million, and submissions were due by 11th October 2021.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector entities.

Engaging in this framework can enhance these businesses' visibility and stability by securing a place in a government-backed contract, potentially leading to further commissions from other authorities in the Liverpool City Region.
