    "description": "Renfrewshire Council has awarded a framework to suitably qualified Service Providers. The framework will be used to meet Renfrewshire Council’s transport requirements - provision of bus, taxi and private hire car services for Service Users - including children and adults with additional support needs (ASN) as well as tenants, tenant representatives and other Service Users, where required.\nMainstream school transport requirements will continue to be procured through SPT and do not form part of this requirement.\nThe main users of the Framework will be Renfrewshire Council’s Children’s Services. However, the Framework will be available for use by any Renfrewshire Council service, including Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership.\nThe main objective of the Framework is to ensure the provision of safe, suitable, efficient and reliable transport between each Service User’s location (eg place of residence) and their required destination (eg school, day care centres, swimming pools/other leisure facilities, temporary accommodation, etc). Some Call-off Contracts will require an Escort, and where necessary this will be advised by the Council.\nThere will be four Lots, and Tenderers were invited to bid for any number of Lots, appropriate to their own business structure:\nLot 1 ASN Buses\n- Lot 2 ASN Taxis\n- Lot 3 Ad-hoc Buses\n- Lot 4 Ad-hoc Taxis\nThe Framework started on the Commencement Date stated in the Letter of Acceptance (17 June 2026).\nThe Council will call off from the Framework throughout its duration, but Tenderers were advised that there is no guaranteed level of spend through any Call-off Contracts awarded under the Framework.\nTenderers had to complete a Master ITT and AT LEAST ONE Lot ITT.\nThe Council did not set a limit on the number of successful Tenderers for appointment to the Framework or to any one Lot.",

Where a Tenderer believes that they are not required to hold Employer’s Liability insurance then the Tenderer shall state the legal exemption they are relying upon to support this claim.\nMinimum Standards for Lot 1 and/or Lot 3 (Bus contracts):\n- Public Liability Insurance: 10million GBP each and every claim\n- Motor vehicle - Comprehensive insurance, a valid Motor Vehicle certificate in the Tenderer’s name, and evidence that cover is unlimited in respect of death/injury and a minimum of 5million GBP for damage to property.\nMinimum Standards for Lot 2 and/or Lot 4 (Taxi contracts):\n- Public Liability Insurance: 5million GBP each and every claim\n- Motor Vehicle – Comprehensive insurance, a valid Motor Vehicle certificate in the Tenderer’s name and that cover is unlimited in respect of death or injury.\n(SC Ref:835644)",

    "description": "Renfrewshire Council previously operated a Framework for Transportation (RC-CPU-20-385), which expired in January 2026.  The Council is now seeking to establish a new multi-Service Provider Framework.\nThe Council invites responses to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) for a place on this Framework from suitably qualified Service Providers.  The framework will be used to meet Renfrewshire Council’s transport requirements - provision of bus, taxi and private hire car services for Service Users - including children and adults with additional support needs (ASN) as well as tenants, tenant representatives and other Service Users, where required.\nMainstream school transport requirements will continue to be procured through SPT and do not form part of this requirement.\nThe main users of the Framework will be Renfrewshire Council’s Children’s Services. However, the Framework will be available for use by any Renfrewshire Council service, including Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership.\nThe main objective of the Framework is to ensure the provision of safe, suitable, efficient and reliable transport between each Service User’s location (eg place of residence) and their required destination (eg school, day care centres, swimming pools/other leisure facilities, temporary accommodation, etc).  Some Call-off Contracts will require an Escort, and where necessary this will be advised by the Council.\nThere will be four Lots, and Tenderers are invited to bid for any number of Lots, appropriate to their own business structure:\n- Lot 1 ASN Buses\n- Lot 2 ASN Taxis\n- Lot 3 Ad-hoc Buses\n- Lot 4 Ad-hoc Taxis\nThe Framework will start on the Commencement Date as stated in the Letter of Acceptance (anticipated to be mid-June 2026). Service Providers who are successful in obtaining a place on the  Framework may have an Appointed Date which differs from the Commencement Date.\nThe Council will call off from the Framework throughout its duration, but Tenderers should note there is no guaranteed level of spend for any Call-off awarded under the Framework.\nTenderers MUST complete a Master ITT and AT LEAST ONE Lot ITT. Tenderers should note that the Tender has been structured to avoid duplication, and a response to ONE set of Technical Questions will be required, based on a Tenderer's Service offering.\nThe Council has NOT set a limit on the number of successful Tenderers to be appointed to the Framework or to any one Lot.",
