Tender description

CallConnect is Lincolnshire County Council's (LCC) demand responsive transport solution (DRT), providing local bus services across the county whilst also supporting education and social care transport. This service is delivered through a fleet of 50 accessible vehicles, 15 of which are 16 seater minibuses. These minibuses are coming to the end of their service life and are in need of replacing to reduce the revenue burden placed on the authority to maintain and service the vehicles to an appropriate road worthy standard.

About the buyer

Lincolnshire County Council is the local authority responsible for services across the county, and buys through its own Procurement Lincolnshire team. Suppliers register on Panacea, the council's e-tendering portal, to bid for contracts. Contracts above relevant thresholds are also advertised on Find a Tender, which is free for suppliers to join. A procurement pipeline sets out contracts due for re-procurement over the next eighteen months, helping suppliers plan ahead. The council favours a Lincolnshire-based approach to procurement, working with partner public bodies across the county where possible. Small and medium enterprises are encouraged to bid for council contracts directly.

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 Lincolnshire County Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, construction work and transport services.
