## Summary

Milton Keynes City Council is initiating a procurement process for a "Public Transport Service Open Framework." This tender, currently in the planning stage as of 17 April 2025, falls under the public road transport services industry category. The procurement is for various transport services, including bus, taxi, demand-responsive transport, adult social care transport, and emergency transport services. The framework agreement will span from 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2033, with an estimated gross value of £24,000,000. Interested suppliers should note that the future notice date is set for 19 May 2025, and the delivery location will be within the region of UKJ12, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those capable of providing public road transport, taxi services, and non-scheduled passenger transport. The framework’s multi-supplier, multi-lot nature opens the door for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to compete and potentially secure long-term contracts. The wide range of services sought by Milton Keynes City Council indicates a substantial scope for growth and diversification for transport service providers, making this an attractive proposition for businesses looking to expand their operations within the public sector.
