Provision of Client Assisted Passenger Transport Services

Procurement description - Surrey County Council is dedicated to providing sustainable, safe, secure, and reliable Home to School transport services that meet the needs of students across the county. In accordance with the Education Act 1996 and subsequent amendments, the Council ensures that eligible students have access to free or subsidized transport to and from school. The responsibility for providing Home to School transport services primarily lies with the local authority, especially for students who meet specific criteria such as distance from school, special educational needs, or disabilities. When these services require funding support, it becomes the Council's obligation to secure such services through a competitive tendering process. Home to School transport services funded by Surrey County Council are essential in ensuring that students can attend school regularly and punctually. These services help to promote educational attainment, reduce absenteeism, and support the well-being of students by providing a safe and reliable means of travel.

MBC - Invitation to Tender For the provision of Commercial Waste Services

In response to the recent introduction of the Simpler Recycling 2025 legislation, Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) conducted a comprehensive review of its waste collection and disposal arrangements. This assessment underscored the necessity for appointing a qualified service provider who can support the Council’s evolving waste management strategy, particularly in enhancing recycling rates across its operational estate and reducing Scope 3 emissions associated with staff and leisure facilities. As such, MBC has been assessing the Council’s waste output on a monthly basis, generating internal and external actions to assess weights and volumes of general waste versus recycling streams. Tenderers are expected to offer this service in the form of a report, alongside general key performance indicators. It should be noted that certain locations are excluded from this contract, including parks, public litter collections, industrial units, and properties under full leasehold arrangements. The Council’s current waste management contract is due to expire in February 2026. MBC is therefore seeking to procure a long-term solution through this tender process, with the objective of ensuring a seamless transition and continuity of service, without any interruption to collections. Furthermore, MBC will be undertaking a significant refurbishment of its main office premises- Maidstone House and The Link (MBC01)- in spring 2026, which will involve a phased programme of floor closures between May- December 2026 (final dates subject to final programme by Main Contractor). It is imperative that prospective suppliers demonstrate flexibility and adaptability in service delivery throughout the contract term, as the Council reserves the right to amend the scope of services in response to operational requirements. Such amendments may include, but are not limited to, changes in: 1.Frequency of waste collection services 2.Number of waste containers provided 3.Container sizes 4.Types of waste streams collected 5.Addition or removal of sites under the contract For more information about this opportunity, please visit the Delta eSourcing portal at: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Maidstone:-Transport-services-%28excl.-Waste-transport%29./96W849PD68 To respond to this opportunity, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/96W849PD68
