In plain English

Warwickshire County Council is building a pre-approved list of taxi and private hire car operators to provide home-to-school transport routes. Once you're approved and on the list, you'll be invited to bid for individual routes as they become available. You don't have to bid for every one.

What the buyer wants

• Provide taxi or private hire car services (maximum 8 seats) for school transport routes • Supply trained staff and passenger assistants where required • Complete all due diligence checks and comply with Council training requirements • Respond to tender opportunities via electronic auction or online quote system when routes become available

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

You must have a full taxi or private hire car licence from your local authority, insurance appropriate for passenger transport, and the ability to pass enhanced DBS checks for all staff. Most small operators without existing school transport experience will find the vetting and compliance burden significant.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
