## Summary

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is currently in the planning phase of a tender titled "Taxi Service for Vulnerable Clients," focused on providing transport services for both children and adults requiring special support. This procurement, which falls under the services category with CPV classification of taxi services, is set within the region of Bradford, United Kingdom and carries a gross value of £84,000,000. Key milestones include a scheduled market engagement event due on 10th March 2026, aiming to create a framework agreement for providers. Interested parties should note the upcoming communications, including a future notice set for 26th March 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those capable of accommodating clients with specialised needs such as looked-after children or individuals with special educational or behavioural requirements.
