## Summary

The Milton Keynes Council is currently seeking proposals for a new service titled "Volunteer Drivers Service for Children and Young People and their Families." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically within the taxi services (CPV code 60120000), and is based in Milton Keynes, South East England. The tender is at the active stage, with a deadline set for submission by 21 December 2017. The contract is anticipated to commence on 1 April 2018 and will run until 31 March 2020, with a total estimated value of £50,000, procured through an open procedure.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in transport services and have experience working with vulnerable populations. By providing reliable transportation solutions tailored to the needs of children and young people, interested companies can contribute positively to community welfare while also expanding their service offerings in a socially responsible market.

## Notice

The purpose of the service is to provide the safe and reliable transportation of vulnerable children and young people, and on occasion their parents and/or carers, in a way that is sensitive to their particular needs and circumstances. Typically, journeys might facilitate: a parent attending a contact centre to meet their child who is in public care; a child leaving or returning a residential placement; or a refugee family being taken to emergency accommodation
