How to win transport services (excl. waste transport) tenders
SEND transport tenders are usually route-based DPS mini-competitions — join the DPS, then price routes realistically including driver/passenger-assistant costs and dead mileage. Safeguarding evidence (enhanced DBS, training records), vehicle accessibility and punctuality data win quality scores; councils are actively re-shoring routes from failed low-ball bids, so credible pricing now beats cheapest.
