What is being bought

North Lanarkshire Council (the “Council”) requires the provision of passenger transport services to supplement its existing arrangements managed by Strathclyde Passenger Transport (SPT) for school pupil transport (drop-offs and pickups before and after the school day), and transport for pupils with Additional Support Needs (ASN). To meet this need, the council intends to establish a multi-lot, multi-supplier framework agreement for taxi and private hire services that shall support a range of transport requirements, including (but not limited to) services for Integrated Day Services, wider social care provision, housing, education, corporate and elected members for staff-related travel. Further information on the Lots, including applied Sub-Lots is detailed below. Full information on the Details of Requirements to be applied within the framework agreement are detailed in ITT Annex 1 available via PCS-Tender. This procurement procedure is a replacement to the one referenced NLC-CPT-25-076 that was abandoned in December 2025. Tenderers are therefore required to submit a new Tender in accordance with the conditions stated within this procurement procedure as previously submitted tenders will not be considered.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 60. The category anchor is Road transport services (60100000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 603,99212 median · 25.5 average (3,285 of 3,992 with a bid count)1.4 average (3,305 of 3,992 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Tenderers are therefore required to submit a new Tender in accordance with the conditions stated within this procurement procedure as previously submitted tenders will not be considered.",

Tenderers are therefore required to submit a new Tender in accordance with the conditions stated within this procurement procedure as previously submitted tenders will not be considered.",

        "description": "To supplement the Council’s internal transport arrangements and fleet, multiple external operators are currently engaged on an ad hoc basis to meet transport requirements for schools and other services.\nThe Council seeks to streamline the current approach by appointing contractors to deliver required services under a formal agreement. This will improve consistency and ensure compliance with statutory obligations. The Council requires service quality to be maintained at a high level, with punctuality, safety, and accessibility prioritised.\nTo meet this need, the Council intends to establish a multi-lot, multi-supplier framework arrangement with taxi / private hire companies with sufficient fleet size, adequate technology (radios, apps etc.) to undertake service delivery\nThis approach should support a range of transport requirements, including (but not limited to) taxi / private hire services for Integrated Day Services (IDS), wider social care provision, housing, corporate and elected members.\nThe Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020 will require all individuals appointed to either arrangement to hold PVG” membership as a legal requirement for all regulated roles.\nTaxi contractors must comply with local authority licensing requirements, including vehicle safety, driver background checks, and insurance coverage.\nPerformance monitoring arrangements will be implemented to ensure ongoing compliance and continuous improvement.\nNorth Lanarkshire Council (NLC) is inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified contractors to participate in a procurement exercise for a framework agreement to undertaken. Additional information: The Councils lot structure is still to be determined with this market engagement exercise anticipated to assist with this process.\nInterested Contractors should review this Prior Information Notice in full and follow instructions stated to the Additional Information section to aid the council in developing this requirement."
