How do I win Transport services (excl. Waste transport) contracts in North West England?

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. The Chest (ProContract) is the region's dominant portal — most councils and many NHS and blue-light buyers advertise there, including sub-threshold quotes that never reach Contracts Finder. Greater Manchester's social-value framework is the most developed in England (weighting commonly 20%+): prepare GM-specific social-value answers rather than recycling generic ones.
