## Summary

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is seeking a Delivery Partner for its "Travel Assistance Service" tender, aimed at enhancing transportation services for over 1,800 vulnerable children and adults within the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The tender, classified under the CPV codes for transport services and consultancy, has an estimated contract value of £600,000 and follows an open procurement method. The tender period concluded on 28th May 2018, with the awarded contract commencing on 2nd July 2018 and lasting until 1st June 2021. The tender process is currently at the award stage, having recently been completed on 29th June 2018.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for companies specialising in transport services, consultancy, or related sectors to engage in a critical collaborative initiative with the local authority. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly those with experience in providing transport solutions for special needs populations, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project could not only facilitate growth for businesses in these sectors but also enhance their portfolio in delivering meaningful services to vulnerable communities.

## Notice

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (the "Council") operates a Passenger Transport Operation ("PTO") which is responsible for the transportation of over 1,800 special needs and vulnerable children and adults two times per day which equates to over 724,000 movements per annum. The Council commissioned a review of PTO in 2017 for the Bradford District and this indicated that potential exists to transform services, introduce efficiencies and achieve cost reductions. The Council is now seeking a "Delivery Partner" to implement the Programme Objectives.
