About

The SEN Transport Team at WYCA is seeking suppliers for Home-to-School transport contracts with taxi and minibus operators for children and young people with special education needs and disabilities on behalf of Wakefield Council; the CA is implementing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to approve suppliers to bid on these contracts, replacing the former approved list with a streamlined process designed to make contract management and bidding less labor intensive for both WYCA teams and operators.

Insight

This tender is most relevant to taxi and minibus operators experienced in providing home-to-school transport for children and young people with special education needs and disabilities; suppliers should note they must be approved on the DPS to bid, and the move from an approved list to a DPS changes the supplier approval and bidding process which may require adapting to the new system.
