## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council is seeking suppliers for the "Wheels to Work" tender, aimed at providing transport solutions in the South East of the United Kingdom. This initiative, classified under the transport services industry, involves a moped leasing scheme for young people facing transportation barriers, with a focus on enabling access to training and employment opportunities. The tender has reached the award stage; the contract was awarded on 21 May 2015 for a value of £80,350, with a duration from 11 May 2015 to 10 May 2016. The tender submissions were due by 12.00 noon on 13 April 2015.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses in the transport services sector, particularly those specialising in vehicle leasing or social enterprise initiatives aimed at youth employment support. Companies that can provide moped leasing and associated services would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar contracts. As the initiative aims to develop into a sustainable model over time, businesses with experience in social enterprise or community-focused services may find additional avenues for collaboration and expansion.

## Notice

Wheels to Work is a moped leasing scheme aimed at helping young people overcome a travel barrier to training or work where no public transport exist or services do not run outside of 'office hours'. It will consist of 15 mopeds purchased and leased for 6 month periods (or per 12 month lease period where the young person is undertaking an apprenticeship) to young people currently not in education, employment or training, or at risk of dropping out of learning due to transport difficulties. The aim of the project is to enable 15-30 beneficiaries to achieve economically viable and sustainable transport into work or training events over the course of the one year contract. This would be a trial in the South & Vale districts with a view to developing it into a social enterprise in future years. This scheme would bring job seekers, currently limited by lack of access to transport in rural areas, into employment. Please note that the return date for tender submissions is 12.00 noon Monday 13 April 2015. The maximum funding available for this scheme is PS80,350 exclusive of VAT.
