How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Closed framework · open framework scheme (admission reopens)
- Call-offs
- every call-off is a further competition among the appointed suppliers
- Bids received
- 67 bids received · 67 suppliers appointed
- Framework period

- Scheme runs until
- 31 Jul 2034
Published description of the framework
When the Council requires a Passenger Transport Route, they will create and distribute a Requirement to the supply base. A Requirement is the name used for a tender on SProc.Net. The Requirement is automatically distributed to Providers that have signed up to the respective Service Category via SProc.Net and who are appointed to the Framework. Depending on when the service is required to begin, the Council will stipulate the relevant timescales, whereby different actions can be taken during the subsequent periods When distributing Requirements, the Council will not be distributing these via any distribution group or post code radius, this means anyone who is appointed to the framework and has signed up to the SProc.Net will have a fair and equal opportunity to place an offer on the Requirement. It is the responsibility of the Provider to ensure that their information with the SProc.Net system is kept up to date to prevent them from being locked out of the system. There may arise a situation that is an exception to the standard process. In this situation, the Council reserve the right to contact a single Provider. Detailed below is a list of example exception situations in which this may occur:
- When services are required in an emergency.
- When continuity of service is required. Providers can only submit an Offer during the ‘Open for Offers’ period. An Offer is the name used for a proposal submitted by a Provider. The Council will stipulate the timescale of this period on the Requirement. Once this period ends, no further Offers can be submitted by the supply base.
