Tender description

The SEN Transport Team at WYCA is responsible for commissioning and overseeing Home to School transport contracts with taxi and minibus operators for children and young people with special education needs and disabilities on behalf of Wakefield Council. The CA is implementing this DPS in order to approve suppliers to bid on these contracts. In the past the contracts have been operated off an approved list and this DPS will work in a similar way by streamlining the process, making it easier to manage and less labour intensive for both the teams at WYCA and operators to bid against contracts.

About the buyer

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority buys as a local government organisation, with its own Commercial and Procurement team supporting colleagues across the authority. Tenders are published through YORtender, the authority's e-procurement system. Some opportunities also appear on Contracts Finder and the Find a Tender Service. Smaller contracts go out as Requests to Quote, with Invitations to Tender used for larger opportunities. External frameworks including the Crown Commercial Service, YPO and NEPO let the authority procure goods, works and services without running a full tender. The team also builds social value into its procurement processes.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority's contract awards have been in business services, software and information systems and architectural and engineering services.
