Passenger transport framework for Children with SEND, Looked after Children and Vulnerable Adults. Key requirements for providers include: - Proven expertise as established providers of passenger transport. - Comprehensive and up-to-date safeguarding training for all drivers and passenger assistants to ensure the safety and well-being of vulnerable service users. - A commitment to maintaining high operational standards, punctual service delivery, and professional care. All suppliers must strictly comply with Transport for London (TfL) taxi licensing and emissions regulations.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 60. The category anchor is Taxi services (60120000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 60 | 2,432 | 14 median · 30.3 average (1,910 of 2,432 with a bid count) | 1.4 average (1,925 of 2,432 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 2 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKI41 | 2 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 62 | 25 median · 25 average (1 of 62 with a bid count) | 14 average (1 of 62 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.

Furthermore, suppliers will be required to manage and transition their vehicle fleets progressively to lower-emission alternatives, aiming to mirror the Council's target of maximizing battery-powered vehicle use. \nThis procurement is essential to ensure that compliant contract arrangements are in place by the time the current DPS ends and ensure the continuation of a high quality and good value transport provision for eligible service users in the borough.\nThe council has a statutory duty as set out in Section 508B of the Education Act 1996: local authorities in England must provide free home-to-school transport for \"eligible children\" of compulsory school age (5–16 years). This includes free travel arrangements for children attending their nearest suitable school who live beyond statutory walking distances or cannot walk due to their Special Educational Needs (SEN) or disabilities.\nTravel assistance can be provided by the council under the Care Act 2014 in order to enable an Adult with assessed eligible care and support needs, or a carer, to make use of necessary facilities or services in the local community. The council has the discretion to support other groups with travel under Section 508C of the Education Act 1996.",
