    Brief

    Luton Council is seeking approved providers to deliver passenger transport services for vulnerable individuals including children with Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) and vulnerable adults. This opportunity operates under a Light Touch Framework with an Approved Provider List model. Providers must supply clean, well-maintained vehicles with courteous, trained drivers and passenger assistants to safely transport eligible service users to and from school, college, day centres, resource bases, and medical appointments. The service includes four distinct lots: Ad-hoc transport for children or adults (social care), planned children's transport, planned adult transport, and routine non-emergency medical transport. All providers must meet stringent safeguarding standards, maintain high levels of duty of care, and comply with statutory requirements for transporting vulnerable populations. This is a critical service where child and adult safety is the paramount consideration.
