    Brief

    Bedford Borough Council is establishing a new Open Framework to procure home to school transport, specialist transport, and related passenger transport services. The Council has a legal obligation to provide free transport for eligible school-aged children and post-16 students, as well as transport for adult and children's social care services including contact sessions, day services, and respite provision. This framework will replace the existing Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System and accommodate diverse vehicle types and passenger needs. The procurement will be conducted electronically through the ADAM eProcurement System, with approved providers able to bid on future call-off contracts. Key dates include procurement document publication in early September 2026, application evaluation in October 2026, framework admission decisions in November 2026, and framework commencement in November/December 2026. Interested transport providers are invited to register their interest and participate in the forthcoming tender when formally advertised.
