02/ The brief
What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
Worcestershire County Council (WCC) is planning to establish a new Transport Category Framework under the Procurement Act 2023, which will be used as an approved route to market for a wide range of transport‑related services.
The primary purpose of the framework is to create an accessible, flexible and proportionate route to market, particularly for local SMEs, micro‑providers and sole traders, while ensuring that statutory transport services are delivered safely, reliably and sustainably. The framework is expected to operate as an open framework, allowing new suppliers to apply at defined points during its lifetime. Anticipated lots include:
• Lot 1 – Passenger Transport Services (e.g. taxis, private hire, minibuses, coaches)
• Lot 2 – Specialist Passenger Transport Services (e.g. SEND and Adult Social Care transport)
• Lot 3 – Transport Fleet & Vehicles
• Lot 4 – Transport Infrastructure & Technology
• Lot 5 – Transport Consultancy & Professional Services
