The contract period is from 1st July 2024 to 31st December 2027, with the tender period ending on 3rd June 2024. Interested providers must demonstrate prior experience dealing with challenging behaviours for the Specialist category. This tender presents an opportunity for taxi service providers with expertise in passenger transport services to compete for contracts with Leicester City Council. Businesses offering taxi services with a particular focus on meeting the needs of individuals with disabilities, medical conditions, or challenging behaviours may find this tender especially suited to their expertise. The upcoming Bidders Events provide a chance for both current and new providers to understand the specific requirements of this procurement and potentially expand their business through successful bids. ## Notice Leicester City Council is seeking to procure passenger transport services. We are hereby establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) from which we will procure the services as described in the Specification. The DPS will be for three years and six months. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Council procures journeys for children, young people and adult service users, as well as for Council staff using taxi providers. These journeys are commonly planned e.g. trips to and from school or unplanned e.g. one-off journeys to an appointment. Those who access our services using taxis may require additional support or supervision which must be provided through a Passenger Assistant and arranged by the taxi Provider. On some occasions a parent may be required to be the Passenger Assistant. Some of those who access our services using taxis have additional needs of the vehicle e.g. the size of vehicle or ramps and wheelchair accessibility or a need for the Driver and/or passenger assistant to have specialist training e.g. how to help someone with a medical condition such as epilepsy. In order to address these needs the DPS will be split into two categories: * Category 1: General Passenger Transport Provision * Category 2: Specialist Passenger Transport Provision Providers who apply for the Specialist category must demonstrate that they and their Drivers/Passenger Assistants have extensive prior experience dealing with challenging behaviours. Providers can bid for either Category or for both Categories. Additional information: Bidders Events have been planned in order to explain the requirements for this particular procurement. There are two dates available with the same agenda for both sessions - Tuesday 14 May 12.00pm and Tuesday 21 May 1.00pm. The meeting will be via MS Teams, meaning you can dial in from your phone.
