Children's Transport Framework II

Thurrock Council is re-opening its Framework for Children's Transport Services. It is seeking licensed operators to transport both mainstream, and children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to and from school, as well as ad-hoc taxi services for children needing transport as a result of social care intervention.

There are currently no new routes available, but meeting the criteria to be admitted to this Framework will enable you to be invited to bid for future routes as and when they become available. You will need to complete the Quality evaluation aspects of this tender and submit prices for some 'dummy' routes to gain entrance to the Framework. Thereafter your responses to invitation to submit bids for new routes will be judged solely on price.

To express an interest please email

Procurement@thurrock.gov.uk

You will then be emailed a Prospective Supplier Registration guide document. Completion of this will then enable you to be attached to this tender opportunity and download the documents.

Additional information: Thurrock Council uses Oracle Cloud eSourcing for tendering. To view the documents, you need to be registered on the system. If you are already registered, log on to the Supplier Portal where the documents will be visible. If not, email procurement@thurrock.gov.uk with the name and email address of the person you wish to access the system and we will send through the registration link and set up guide.
