2627-0143 Passenger Transport Framework - Ongoing Market Engagement

Tender description

Islington Council is engaging with suppliers regarding the development of an upcoming framework for Passenger Transport Services, including transport for children and young people with SEND, vulnerable adults and other eligible residents. The Council has undertaken preliminary market engagement with a wide range of suppliers, including taxi and private hire operators, accessible transport providers, minibus operators, passenger assistant providers, SMEs and local businesses, to help shape the future framework and ensure it is accessible to a diverse supplier market. The service enables access to education, care and community services through a range of transport solutions including taxis, accessible vehicles, minibuses and attendants, with a focus on safety, safeguarding, accessibility and value for money. The formal market engagement questionnaire has now closed. However, suppliers may continue to express an interest in the upcoming opportunity and contact the Council through the London Tenders Portal with questions or relevant feedback. We particularly welcome contact from local providers, SMEs and smaller organisations that may benefit from general support in understanding the procurement process and preparing to participate in the future framework. Suppliers are not required to submit licences, certificates or other tender documentation at this stage. Any documentation required as part of the procurement will be specified when the tender opportunity is published.
