Description
North Lanarkshire Council (the “Council”) requires the provision of passenger transport services to supplement its existing arrangements managed by Strathclyde Passenger Transport (SPT) for school pupil transport (drop-offs and pickups before and after the school day), and transport for pupils with Additional Support Needs (ASN). To meet this need, the council intends to establish a multi-lot, multi-supplier framework agreement for taxi and private hire services that shall support a range of transport requirements, including (but not limited to) services for Integrated Day Services, wider social care provision, housing, education, corporate and elected members for staff-related travel. Further information on the Lots, including applied Sub-Lots is detailed below. Full information on the Details of Requirements to be applied within the framework agreement are detailed in ITT Annex 1 available via PCS-Tender. This procurement procedure is a replacement to the one referenced NLC-CPT-25-076 that was abandoned in December 2025. Tenderers are therefore required to submit a new Tender in accordance with the conditions stated within this procurement procedure as previously submitted tenders will not be considered.
