Description

Bedford Borough Council has a statutory duty to provide free home to school travel for compulsory school-aged children who meet nationally prescribed eligibility criteria and for post-16 students who meet locally determined criteria. To fulfil this duty, the Council commissions transport services from external providers using a range of vehicle types to meet the diverse needs of routes and individual passengers. In addition, the School and Specialist Transport Team arranges transport for a range of Adult and Children's Social Care requirements, including contact sessions, day services, and respite provision. To support the efficient and compliant procurement of these services, the Council is establishing a new Open Framework to replace the existing Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The procurement process will be conducted electronically through the ADAM eProcurement System, with approved providers being eligible to participate in future call-off opportunities under the Open Framework. The Open Framework will be divided into 6 Lots: Lot 1 Passenger transport services using vehicles with capacity for 1-3 passengers Lot 2 Passenger transport services using vehicles with capacity for 4-8 passengers Lot 3 Passenger transport services using vehicles with capacity for 9-16 passengers Lot 4 Passenger transport services using vehicles with capacity for 17-33 passengers Lot 5 Passenger transport services using vehicles with capacity for 49 or more passengers Lot 6 Medical Transport Services
