For example, transport may be required immediately, within the same day or next day and the duration of the requirement may only be a single journey. To address the Council's statutory duty to fulfil urgent transport requests, a framework agreement is being established specifically for the provision of short notice transport services. Through this framework, the Council will appoint a number of qualified suppliers, creating a reliable pool of suppliers capable of responding swiftly to the Council's requirements. This arrangement enables the Council to offer short notice, short term transport contracts directly to approved suppliers via telephone, without the need for a further competitive procurement process. This approach ensures that transport can be organised and delivered within the tight timescales that such circumstances demand, maintaining compliance and service continuity. Most transport requirements under the framework will involve social care or home-to-school trips, but the framework will also cover the provision of any type of short-notice transport requirement (with the exception of ambulance/medical transport). ## Lots (4) ### Lot 1: Lot 1 - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 60000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKF - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £20,000,000 - **Description:** Lot 1 comprises the provision of short notice passenger transport in small vehicles (up to 8 passenger seats) with coverage of the following geographical areas: LE4 Beaumont Leys, Birstall LE5 Hamilton, Thurnby Lodge LE2 Oadby LE18 Wigston ... - **Contract Period:** 01/12/2026 to 30/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 2: Lot 2 - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 60000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKF - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £20,000,000 - **Description:** Lot 2 comprises the provision of short notice passenger transport in small vehicles (up to 8 passenger seats) with coverage of the following geographical areas: LE65 Ashby de la Zouch LE67 Coalville LE6 Ratby, Groby LE11 Loughborough LE12... - **Contract Period:** 01/12/2026 to 30/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 3: Lot 3 - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 60000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKF, UKG - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £20,000,000 - **Description:** Lot 3 comprises the provision of short notice passenger transport in small vehicles (up to 8 passenger seats) with coverage of the following geographical areas: LE9 Kirby Muxloe LE10 Hinckley LE17 Lutterworth LE8 Blaby LE16 Market Harbor... - **Contract Period:** 01/12/2026 to 30/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 4: Lot 4 - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 60000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKF - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £20,000,000 - **Description:** Lot 4 comprises the provision of short notice passenger transport in small vehicles (up to 8 passenger seats) with coverage of the following geographical areas: LE7 Syston, Thurcaston LE14 Brooksby, Waltham on the Wolds LE13 Melton Mowbray ... - **Contract Period:** 01/12/2026 to 30/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F063998-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-07-08T09:18:28.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-11-01T14:05:56.932Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-060d96
