Details

Herefordshire Council ("the Council") intends to establish a multi supplier, multi lot open framework for the Provision of Passenger Transport Services to secure transport services to support access to education, social care, public health and wider community services. Currently, services are procured via the Council's Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Before commencing the procurement, the Council is issuing this Preliminary Market Engagement notice to invite interested suppliers to attend an online market engagement event. The event will offer an overview of the planned framework, proposed lots and the anticipated procurement timetable. It will give suppliers the opportunity to understand the requirement and provide feedback based on the requirement set out in the presentation. Currently it is anticipated that the proposed framework will include 3 lots:

  • Lot 1 Passenger Carrying Vehicles contracted transport (including an option for provision of passenger assistants)
  • Lot 2 Hackney/Private Hire Transport (including an option for provision of passenger assistants)
  • Lot 3 Public Transport

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this transport & logistics opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the closing date and submission window on the official portal before you start preparing your bid.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.

  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
