## About this tender

Renfrewshire Council has awarded a framework to suitably qualified Service Providers. The framework will be used to meet Renfrewshire Council’s transport requirements - provision of bus, taxi and private hire car services for Service Users - including children and adults with additional support needs (ASN) as well as tenants, tenant representatives and other Service Users, where required.

Mainstream school transport requirements will continue to be procured through SPT and do not form part of this requirement.

The main users of the Framework will be Renfrewshire Council’s Children’s Services. However, the Framework will be available for use by any Renfrewshire Council service, including Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership.

The main objective of the Framework is to ensure the provision of safe, suitable, efficient and reliable transport between each Service User’s location (eg place of residence) and their required destination (eg school, day care centres, swimming pools/other leisure facilities, temporary accommodation, etc). Some Call-off Contracts will require an Escort, and where necessary this will be advised by the Council.

There will be four Lots, and Tenderers were invited to bid for any number of Lots, appropriate to their own business structure:

- Lot 1ASN Buses
- Lot 2 ASN Taxis
- Lot 3 Ad-hoc Buses
- Lot 4 Ad-hoc Taxis

The Framework started on the Commencement Date stated in the Letter of Acceptance (17 June 2026).

The Council will call off from the Framework throughout its duration, but Tenderers were advised that there is no guaranteed level of spend through any Call-off Contracts awarded under the Framework.

Tenderers had to complete a Master ITT and AT LEAST ONE Lot ITT.

The Council did not set a limit on the number of successful Tenderers for appointment to the Framework or to any one Lot.
