## Summary

Westminster City Council, in collaboration with the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, is in the planning stage of a public procurement process related to community services transport for older people. The procurement falls under the industry category of non-scheduled passenger transport, specifically focusing on services and is above the threshold with an estimated contract value of £2,890,000. This procurement will take place in Greater London, covering regions UKI32 and UKI33. The preliminary market engagement notice was published on 7th August 2025, and interested parties are invited to complete a survey by 29th August 2025. The future notice for the tender is scheduled for 26th September 2025, with the contract period expected to start on 1st April 2026 and run until 31st March 2031, with possible renewal extending to 30th September 2034.

This opportunity could significantly promote business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its size and specific focus. Companies specialising in non-scheduled transport services, particularly those with a track record in community services, would be well-suited to compete for this tender. Engaging in this procurement could provide these businesses with a stable source of revenue over a multi-year contract period while enhancing their portfolio of public sector projects.
