This project, completed on the 25th of July, 2024, included wheelchair accessible vehicles, with services spanning across the region UKD62. The procurement method was selective, employing a restricted procedure, and the process reached the award stage on the 17th of April, 2025. Notably, it involved a dynamic purchasing system and electronic auction techniques, adhering to the 32014L0024 legal basis as per CELEX. The key awards were given to 24x7 (Cheshire) Ltd and Arrivals Star Ltd, covering contracts totalling £338,184.80 signed on the same dates. This tender represents significant prospects for businesses specialising in road transport services, particularly those offering wheelchair-accessible solutions. SMEs with expertise in service delivery within a competitive pricing framework could greatly benefit from such contracts. The Council's use of a dynamic purchasing system and electronic auctions signals a preference for agile and technologically equipped vendors, particularly those capable of meeting distinctive transport needs, such as provision for wheelchair users. These awards not only cater to existing demands but also pave the way for businesses to bolster their local presence and expand service capacities within the UKD62 region. ## Notice This project was for all call offs running in July 2025 Phase 4 for Lot 1 - Category C.
