Tender description
A Framework for School to Pool Transport is being created by Sheffield City Council (the Authority) being a Contracting Authority as defined by section 2 of the Procurement Act 2023. The Framework will be for the transportation of school children to swimming pools and back, via coach, in order that the schools may comply with the National Curriculum. In the summary section of this notice, it is stated that 37 tenders were received and evaluated, and that 3 suppliers have been awarded contracts and 34 turned down. This is due to the number of Lots and associated Contracts. The actual number of tenders received was 4. One of these did not meet the Conditions of Participation, so the final number of assessed tenders was 3. These three tenders were then evaluated against 13 different Lots on the framework, and as a result the contracts and awarded suppliers listed are split between the 3 tenders, each of which was awarded multiple positions within the framework.

About the buyer
Sheffield City Council is a local authority for the city of Sheffield, and runs its own procurement function for contracts across the organisation. Tender opportunities are advertised on YORtender, the council's e-tendering portal shared with local authorities across the Yorkshire and Humber region. Contracts above threshold also appear on Find a Tender, with lower-value opportunities listed on Contracts Finder. Framework agreements let the council call off from appointed suppliers without a fresh advertisement. An evaluation panel scores each bid, and the highest-scoring supplier wins the contract. Contract details are then published in the Contract Register within YORtender.
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 Sheffield City Council's contract awards have been in business services, construction work and IT services.
