This tender falls under the services industry category and is located in Ayr, UK. Currently, the tender is in the award stage after concluding the open procurement procedure, with key contracts already signed on 21st April 2020. The framework is set to commence in March 2020, ensuring that all contracts are in place before the new school term. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for taxi service providers, particularly those specialising in transportation for school children with additional support needs and general transportation requirements for council employees. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can comply with the required standards and provide high-quality service will be well-suited to compete. Successful tenderers will have the chance to engage in a range of contracts, including general taxi services and specialised transport for children with complex needs, potentially leading to long-term contracts that promote local community engagement and development. ## Notice The primary objective is to successfully implement a third generation framework agreement with one or more Taxi Providers to provide transport services for school children with additional support needs, for children and young adults with complex disabled needs, general taxi services for employees, employee clients and elected members of South Ayrshire Council when required to perform their official duties and the distribution of food to school establishments under five individual Lots. The new Framework shall begin in March 2020 (to ensure new contracts are in place before the start of the school term which will have to be conducted via Mini-Competition). ### Lot Information Transportation of Children and Young People between Educational Establishments Transportation of Children and Young People between Educational Establishments Renewal: Renewal in 2024 Transportation of Children and Young People with Additional Support Needs to School Transportation of Children and Young People with Additional Support Needs to School Renewal: Renewal in 2024 Transportation of Babies, Children and Young Adults with Support and Complex Needs and Disabilities Transportation of Babies, Children and Young Adults with Support and Complex Needs and Disabilities Renewal: Renewal in 2024 Provision of a General Taxi Service Provision of a General Taxi Service Renewal: Renewal in 2024 Provision of a Taxi Service for Food Distribution Provision of a Taxi Service for Food Distribution Renewal: Renewal in 2024 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY386812 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 May 2020 | | Submission deadline | 14 Jan 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Apr 2020 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Renewal in 2024 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £5,198,820 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | AYR | | Post town | Kilmarnock | | Postcode | KA7 1DR | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM94 South Ayrshire | | Local authority | South Ayrshire | | Electoral ward | Ayr West | | Westminster constituency | Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock | | Delivery location | TLM94 South Ayrshire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 25 | | Supplier names | 1 ALBA CABS; 8EESCABS(A FIRM; ANDYS TAXIS CABS; ATOB TAXIS; AYR CITADEL TAXIS; AYR PREMIER TAXIS; AYR TAXIS; B&G CONTRACTS; COWANS OF AYR; E&S TRAVEL; GARRY GEMMELL TAXIS; GORDON LIVINGSTONE; HANNAH'S TAXIS & MINIBUSES; ICR TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS; JAMIES TAXIS; JOE'S TAXI SERVICE; JOHN KELLY TAXIS; KYLE MINIBUSES; LITHGOW TRANSPORT; MCCARTNEY TAXIS; PETER OGILVIE; SAM PROW'S TAXIS; STREAMLINE TAXIS; THOMAS LINDORES TAXI'S; VILLAGE CABS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
