## Summary

The Bradford Metropolitan District Council is currently engaged in a public procurement process titled "DPS for Provision of Taxi Service for Vulnerable Customers." This initiative falls within the services industry category and is located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is a selective procedure, with the tender period having concluded on 15th August 2018. The contract, valued at £20 million, officially commenced on 10th September 2018 and is expected to run until 9th September 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the transportation sector, particularly those specialising in taxi services. Businesses equipped to provide transport for vulnerable customers, including children with special needs or behavioural considerations, are especially well-suited to compete. Moreover, suppliers with the capability to offer additional services like passenger escorting could further enhance their competitiveness in this tender.

## Notice

The Council requires support provision of transport services for eligible children and their escorts (to include looked after children or children with special education needs or behavioural considerations), and support for the provision of transport services for eligible adults and their escorts. The Council may require Passenger Escort Services from the supplier. The Council may, on some occasions, require transport services for council services/departments that do not transport children. Please see documents on the Councils e_tendering website YORtender (www.yortender.co.uk) under reference DN344104 for full details of the requirement and how to submit your tender. Documents will be published on the 9th July 2018
