Notice Description

This is an opportunity for suppliers to express and respond to a Transport for London (TfL) questionnaire to help understand the market and supply position for MOAT.

Part of this, the MOAT requirement, is for one supplier or a small number of suppliers capable of operating in London to provide driver and vehicle services, with their own scheduling system as an option, for multi occupancy accessible trips across all 33 London Boroughs. This is fully funded by TfL and will deliver direct to London Dial a Ride's passengers, who because of their disabilities, are unable to use TfL's standard bus and train services offering.
