Renfrewshire Council previously operated a Framework for Transportation (RC-CPU-20-385), which expired in January 2026. The Council is now seeking to establish a new multi-Service Provider Framework. The Council invites responses to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) for a place on this Framework from suitably qualified Service Providers. The framework will be used to meet Renfrewshire Council’s transport requirements - provision of bus, taxi and private hire car services for Service Users - including children and adults with additional support needs (ASN) as well as tenants, tenant representatives and other Service Users, where required. Mainstream school transport requirements will continue to be procured through SPT and do not form part of this requirement. The main users of the Framework will be Renfrewshire Council’s Children’s Services. However, the Framework will be available for use by any Renfrewshire Council service, including Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership. The main objective of the Framework is to ensure the provision of safe, suitable, efficient and reliable transport between each Service User’s location (eg place of residence) and their required destination (eg school, day care centres, swimming pools/other leisure facilities, temporary accommodation, etc). Some Call-off Contracts will require an Escort, and where necessary this will be advised by the Council. There will be four Lots, and Tenderers are invited to bid for any number of Lots, appropriate to their own business structure: - Lot 1 ASN Buses - Lot 2 ASN Taxis - Lot 3 Ad-hoc Buses - Lot 4 Ad-hoc Taxis The Framework will start on the Commencement Date as stated in the Letter of Acceptance (anticipated to be mid-June 2026). Service Providers who are successful in obtaining a place on the Framework may have an Appointed Date which differs from the Commencement Date. The Council will call off from the Framework throughout its duration, but Tenderers should note there is no guaranteed level of spend for any Call-off awarded under the Framework. Tenderers MUST complete a Master ITT and AT LEAST ONE Lot ITT. Tenderers should note that the Tender has been structured to avoid duplication, and a response to ONE set of Technical Questions will be required, based on a Tenderer's Service offering. The Council has NOT set a limit on the number of successful Tenderers to be appointed to the Framework or to any one Lot.
The tender will be conducted as an Open Procedure to establish a framework agreement. The weighting for appointment to the Framework is 70% Quality/30% Price However, Call off Contracts from the Framework will use the Quality score achieved on a pro rata basis - 30% Quality/70% Price (Price being Rates submitted for any Call-off Contract). Additional information: For the avoidance of doubt, Call-off Contracts may expire after the Contract End Date
