## Summary

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council is planning a procurement process for a Home to School Transport service, set to replace their previous Dynamic Purchasing System with an open framework. This framework will include various lots for buses and taxis, and has an estimated value of £14.4 million. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with the contract period starting on 11th September 2026 and ending on 10th September 2030. Located in Grimsby, the authority's process forms a part of the services industry category, specifically targeting road transport services. Interested suppliers should look out for a future notice on 1st July 2026, which will provide additional information regarding the tender.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in road transport services, including SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises. With a framework agreement in place, it allows for flexibility in bidding for different routes and services, under the authority's regulations. The inclusion of various lots ensures multiple opportunities for businesses to win parts of the contract. To be competitive, businesses should possess appropriate licences for vehicles and drivers, and ensure all personnel meet high safeguarding standards. This initiative provides a sustainable growth path, encouraging participation from local and specialised service providers.
