## About this tender

The Council spends c. £2m per annum on transport services, predominately regular route work conveying children to and from school and adults to and from day centres with a small amount (c£50 -100k pa) of ad-hoc taxi journeys for Council Officers / elected members. These services are provided under an existing contract (T23) that will expire in the Summer of 2016 when a new two year contract will commence. A separate advert inviting applications for this contract will be posted within the next few weeks.

As an interim measure and to supplement supply under the existing T23 contract, Birmingham City Council is seeking applications, from suitable organisations, to provide hackney carriage and private taxi services throughout Birmingham. The orders placed under this interim contract will predominantly be for ad-hoc taxi requests for Council Officers / elected members and will include requests for pickups at peak times. A recent audit of pick-ups for one month and for one department showed that of 183 pick-ups 68 of these were peak time journeys, 63 jobs had a travelling distance of less than 3 miles with the remaining jobs (120) being for between 3 and 14 miles.

Although this interim contract will predominantly cover ad-hoc tax requests, where existing contracted providers under the T23 contract cannot fulfil these, where there is a requirement for conveying children to and from school or adults to and from day centres and this cannot be fulfilled under the existing T23 contract these routes may also be ordered under this interim contract.

Interested organisations must have a proven track record in the operation of similar operations and demonstrate that they are able to provide a consistently high quality service, which represents good value for money.

The initial term of this contract will be 4 months and will commence on or around 18th April 2016 with the option to extend, at the Council’s sole discretion, for up to a further 6 months if required and subject to satisfactory performance
