## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council is procuring services under the "Education and Health & Social Care Transport Framework Agreement." This framework encompasses a range of specialised passenger road transport services aimed at home to school transport for pupils, as well as transport for individuals with additional support needs and those requiring health and social care services. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, having been signed on 26th June 2019. The related contract values total approximately £32 million across various service lots, with delivery primarily centred in the Edinburgh region and surrounding areas.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the transport sector, particularly those offering specialised transportation services. Companies that can provide accessible vehicles, qualified drivers, and must-have passenger assistants will be particularly well-positioned to compete effectively. Given the framework's emphasis on quality and price in the evaluation criteria, businesses that can demonstrate experience and reliability in providing similar services will find this procurement a valuable avenue for growth and expansion.
