## Summary

St Helens Council is seeking an experienced, professional attendant/chauffeur for the Mayor of St Helens, or the Deputy Mayor when circumstances require. The service is to be provided as and when needed for the Mayor’s engagements. This is a local passenger transport and chauffeur service, classified under security services in the procurement data. Delivery is associated with Lancashire and Merseyside. The requirement is reserved for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises based in Lancashire; the selection criteria also refer to suppliers in the St Helens city region and Merseyside. The work is therefore aimed at local providers able to supply reliable, professional chauffeur support for civic engagements.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The contract is for one service lot. The deadline for questions was 20 October 2026 at 17:00, and the bid deadline was 30 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with the possibility of 12-month extensions to provide cover during re-tendering or electoral issues; the maximum stated end date is 30 November 2031. The estimated value is £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). Evaluation is weighted 50% on quality, 20% on social value and 30% on price. Responses are scored for relevance, detail, understanding and confidence of delivery; failure to submit the quantitative social value response by the deadline results in exclusion.

This opportunity best suits a small or medium-sized local chauffeur or passenger transport provider, or a voluntary, community or social enterprise, established in the eligible Lancashire area. Suppliers need to demonstrate that they can provide experienced, professional attendant/chauffeur cover for the Mayor’s engagements and, when required, the Deputy Mayor’s. The requirement calls for dependable service delivered on demand rather than a fixed daily schedule. Bids are assessed substantially on the quality and credibility of the proposed delivery, including the supplier’s understanding of the requirements, relevant systems and quality measures, and how delivery risks will be managed. Social value commitments must be explained clearly and supported by a credible delivery approach. Price also matters, and zero or economically unviable pricing may lead to rejection. No specific driving qualification or accreditation is stated.
