The tender opportunity is anticipated to be published in July 2026, as part of the council's transition to a new framework.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport and health services sectors, particularly those specialising in minibus and taxi services. Businesses suited for competing in this tender include SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), offering a range of passenger solutions such as home-to-school transport. Successful participation could lead to favourable contracts within a framework valued at £100 million, granting stable, long-term opportunities for growth, as the project is set to commence in September 2026 and may extend until 2034. Interested suppliers are encouraged to attend the engagement event to gain insights and align with BCP Council’s future vision for transport services.
