This procurement falls within the services category and is currently in the planning stage, with a value of £13,000,000. Key dates for the process include a future notice date scheduled for 30th January 2017. The transport services will primarily cater to the local authority area of Edinburgh, addressing needs for transporting pupils and vulnerable individuals to health and social care facilities. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those equipped to provide specialised vehicles or unescorted transport for children and vulnerable adults. Companies engaged in home-to-school transport or health services would be particularly well-suited to submit proposals, given the diverse range of service requirements, including fixed routes and ad hoc transport needs. As the Council intends to publish a related Contract Notice and Invitation to Tender in early 2017, interested businesses should prepare to engage and showcase their capabilities in this robust procurement process. ## Notice Framework agreement for a range of special-purpose road passenger-transport services, including home to school transport of pupils, transport of pupils with additional support needs (ASN) and transport of vulnerable service users for access to health and social care (HSC) services. ### Lot Information Vehicle and Driver - Unescorted No specialised care, equipment or specialised vehicles required.
