The Service required will primarily be to transport vulnerable children and young people to and from schools and colleges. The Council must meet the statutory requirements relating to home to school transport and sustainable travel. The Council is the largest service of its kind in the country providing transport services (vehicles, drivers and passenger assistants) to support over 4,500 children and young people with SEND. There are over 1,200 transport routes operated each day and, as at early September 2022, approximately 920 of these routes require passenger assistants to support the needs of these children and young people. The Council aims to assist in improving the lives of children and young people through the provision of efficient, safe, secure, sensitive, suitable, timely and reliable travel services; and where appropriate, help prepare the child or young person to travel independently. The Framework offer the opportunity to establish a robust specification building on the standards already set by the Council to deliver these outcomes. The Council requires providers that will deliver transport services using a range of vehicles to include but not limited to cars, people-carriers, wheelchair-accessible vehicles, minibuses, and accompanying passenger assistants (as and when required) as agreed with Children Young People Transport Services (CYPTS). The Framework Agreement will be in 2 Lots and will be awarded to multiple suppliers as follows: - Lot 1 Minibus (For 9-seat or more vehicles) This will have a maximum of 20 successful tenderers on the Framework to deliver all the minibus contracts. Call off will be via further competition based on requirements, and individual requirements will be packaged based on needs. Lot 1 also has the option of a direct award where required, for example in urgent circumstances. - Lot 2 Taxi: (vehicles that can provide 8 passenger seats or less.) This will have a maximum of 35 suppliers and call off will be via direct award based on vehicle type and pricing. Once the Framework Agreement commences and there is a requirement, the Council will directly award that requirement via a direct Call-Off Contracts to the supplier who achieved the highest ranking in total combined score (quality and price) against the required vehicle type/category. The Council will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest on the following link to access [in-tendhost.co.uk/birminghamcc](https://in-tendhost.co.uk/birminghamcc/) If you are unable to register with In-tend or have any questions or problems on how to use this web site please either email us at: Additional information: If you are interested in tendering please click on the following link to access Birmingham City Council's tender Portal.
