## Summary

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is currently in the tender stage for a public procurement process aimed at establishing a Framework Agreement for taxi services catering to vulnerable clients, including children with special educational needs, looked after children, and adults requiring transport assistance. This services-oriented tender falls under the industry category of taxi services and is part of an open, above-threshold procedure. The procurement is located in Bradford, United Kingdom, within the region of UKE41. Interested parties should note key dates: the enquiry period ends on 21 May 2026, while the tender submission deadline is 1 June 2026. The contract is set to commence on 20 July 2026 and will run until 19 July 2034.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those experienced in dealing with vulnerable groups. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement encourages social value and high-quality responses. The framework scheme permits reopening competition, allowing additional opportunities to engage over its duration. With a substantial potential contract value up to £100 million, the tender is particularly suitable for established transport providers willing to meet the Council's specifications and standards outlined in the provided appendices. Business growth can be catalysed by successfully connecting with local government needs, potentially paving the way for long-term collaboration.

## Notice

The Council is seeking to establish an Open Framework Agreement for the provision of transport services for eligible children and their escorts (to include looked after children or children with special education needs or behavioural considerations), and support for the provision of transport services for eligible adults and their escort. The Council may require Passenger Escort Services from the Provider. The Council may, on some occasions, require transport services for council services/departments that do not transport children
