## Summary

Milton Keynes Council has initiated a tender process for the "Volunteer Driver Service," which aims to provide safe and reliable transportation services for vulnerable children, young people, and adults within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 9th December 2019. This open procedure tender has a total value of £484,000 and includes a minimum value of £363,000. The contract is expected to commence on 22nd April 2020 and run until 21st April 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those that focus on social care and community support. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria, as the service is oriented towards enhancing the wellbeing of vulnerable populations. Companies that can offer person-centred transportation solutions and have experience working with similar demographic groups would be well positioned to compete effectively in this procurement process.

## Notice

The Volunteer Driver Service will consist of two separate schemes: The purpose of the Volunteers Drivers Scheme for Vulnerable Children & Young People & their Families is to provide the safe and reliable transportation of vulnerable children and young people and on occasion their parents and/or carers referred to the Scheme from the Council, in a way that is sensitive to their particular needs and circumstances. The purpose of the Adult Scheme is to provide safe, affordable, person centred and reliable transportation to vulnerable adults to ensure they are able to attend important appointments that are designed to improve or sustain their health and wellbeing. The scheme thus ensures that "having no transport" is not a reason for people to miss important medical or social care appointments.
