What counts as NHS contracted passenger transport tenders here?

Contracted passenger transport tenders published by NHS buyers: the same title rule as the UK-wide contracted passenger transport hub, kept to notices whose buyer the NHS tenders hub recognises by name. Notices from other buyers with the same subject are on the contracted passenger transport hub; the NHS hub lists every subject.

Classified

This hub is chosen by buyer or place, which the catalogue does not describe, so it uses no classification.

Matched by text

The buyer's name contains one of: contracted passenger transport, school transport, home to school transport, taxi, nhs, integrated care board, foundation trust, health board. A word match is not a judgment of what is bought, so these are labelled as matches.

  1. Open the official notice

    Every notice above links to its page here and to its record on Find a Tender or Contracts Finder. The documents there are the tender; this page is not.
  2. Check the dates

    Note the deadline and any clarification or expression-of-interest date. Forecast and planning notices have no bid deadline yet.
  3. Check the route to market

    A framework or dynamic purchasing system call-off needs a place on that agreement first; an open procedure does not.
  4. Look at who won before

    The winners above show who has delivered this kind of contract recently and for which buyers.

Read the buyer’s own notice before you spend a day on any of these.
