PAN2598 - Passenger Transport Services DPS

Description

Leicester City Council is seeking to procure passenger transport services. We are hereby establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) from which we will procure the services as described in the Specification. The DPS will be for five years and six months. The Council procures journeys for children, young people and adult service users, as well as for Council staff using taxi providers. These journeys are commonly planned e.g. trips to and from school or unplanned e.g. one-off journeys to an appointment. Those who access our services using taxis may require additional support or supervision which must be provided through a passenger assistant and arranged by the taxi Provider. On some occasions a parent may be required to be the passenger assistant. Some of those who access our services using taxis have additional needs of the vehicle e.g. the size of vehicle or ramps and wheelchair accessibility or a need for the Driver and/or passenger assistant to have specialist training e.g. how to help someone with a medical condition such as epilepsy. Please note the deadline for submission of initial Request to Participate (RTPs) is 20th October 2021. Any RTPs submitted after this date/time will be deemed to be submitted on 1st February 2022 (the Commencement Date of the DPS). Submissions may be made at any time during the DPS Term. The DPS will run from 1st February 2022 until 31 July 2027. The contract dates in Section 1 are incorrect due to a technical issue with Contracts Finder
