Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 62 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £84,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

The Council requires a framework of Providers to support the Councils in-house provision of transport services for eligible children and their escorts (to include looked after children or children with special education needs or behavioural considerations), and support for the provision of transport services for eligible adults and their escorts. The Council may require Passenger Escort Services. The Council may, on some occasions, require transport services for council services/departments that do not transport children
