This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focused on taxi services and non-scheduled passenger transport, and is set in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The framework aims to establish multiple contracts for the provision of transport services, particularly for vulnerable children and young people, and will be operational from 31 July 2022 until 31 July 2024, with a potential one-year extension. The deadline for submissions is 13 June 2022, at 15:00hrs, as the procurement method follows an open procedure that complies with above-threshold requirements. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, especially those that can provide tailored solutions for special educational needs and disabilities. Companies that have experience working with vulnerable groups, such as children in temporary accommodation or looked-after children, would be particularly well-suited to engage in this process. With the framework being divided into three lots for a variety of service requirements, the potential for business growth is substantial, opening avenues for both small and large transport service providers to secure contracts in this vital social service sector. ## Notice The Council wishes to establish a Framework to award individual contracts to Potential Suppliers for the provision of Passenger Transport Services from home to school, for children and young people with an identified requirement.
