## Summary

The London Borough of Southwark has completed the "SEND Taxi Framework 2021" procurement process, which falls under the service category of transport services excluding waste transport. This framework was designed to provide taxi services for vehicles up to nine seats, inclusive of drivers, to transport children and young people to and from educational institutions. The procurement method was conducted using a selective, restricted procedure. While the tendering period ended on 24 February 2022, the contract itself commenced on 1 September 2022 and is set to conclude on 31 August 2026. The total contract value is estimated at £8,000,000, highlighting the substantial financial commitment involved, and is situated in England, United Kingdom.

This contract presents a lucrative opportunity for service providers specializing in transport services. Given the framework’s focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, it is well-suited for growth-centric businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the public sector transport industry, especially those capable of offering reliable and safe transport for young people. The award was made to three suppliers: HATS Group Ltd, Access Mobility Transport Limited, and Allfor Care, exemplifying the kind of businesses that can successfully compete in such tenders. Future participants in similar tenders should have the capability to ensure consistent and dedicated transport services within the scope and timeline stipulated by such frameworks.
