Description

Market Engagement Event - Passenger Transport Framework Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole (BCP) Council is pleased to invite providers to a Engagement Event taking place on 22nd June 2026, 11:30 am-1:00 pm via microsoft teams. The purpose of the session is to outline our commissioning intentions for the upcoming Passenger Transport framework. This session is open to all providers with an interest in joining a Passenger Transport Framework for home-to-school transport requirements, and for use by all BCP service users and employees. The Service will cover Minibuses with 9 - 16 Passenger Seats, Taxis and private hire vehicles or social cars for up to 8 passenger seats, and ad hoc provision of Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles up to 8 Passenger Seats. This session will provide insight into BCP Council's future vision for the service.
