Summary of the contracting process

The University of Plymouth is conducting a tender for the "Student Travel Bus Provision", which aims to secure a contractor for providing bus travel services to its Faculty of Health students. The procurement is divided into two lots: one for travel between UoP sites within Plymouth and another for transport between the main campus and the Dental Education Facility in Exeter. This procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 27th April 2021. The estimated contract value is £240,000, and the contract period is planned from 28th April 2021 to 29th April 2024, primarily involving services within the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity presents a significant chance for businesses in the transportation and logistics sector, particularly providers of bus and coach services. Companies equipped with the capability to manage student transportation, comply with the specific requirements detailed in the procurement documents, and demonstrate a track record in similar projects would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, as the procurement method is open, it encourages participation from a broad range of service providers, fostering competition that could lead to advantageous terms for the University and potentially more business for the selected contractor.
