PAN1158 - Vulnerable passenger transport

Leicester City Council invites tenders for the provision of passenger transport services for vulnerable adults and elderly people, children with special educational needs, patient transfers and other groups of young people. A framework of suitable taxi firms is being sought, divided into 8 lots, according to the type of journey. Service providers on the framework will then be invited to quote for packages of journeys as they become available. In total there are between 5,000 and 10,000 journeys per week (accounting for around £4 million pounds worth of spend per annum) which falls by at least half during the school holidays.
