Summary of the contracting process

Merseytravel is inviting tenders for the "Resource Based School Bus Contracts," which focuses on enhancing public transport capacity in the North West of the United Kingdom.

The open procurement process is active, with the tender period closing on 24th July 2020, and contracts expected to commence on 1st September 2020, lasting until 23rd December 2020. The total value of the contract is £150,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in transport services, particularly those that can provide additional school bus capabilities.

Notice Information

Notice Title

RESOURCE BASED SCHOOL BUS CONTRACTS

Notice Description

Capacity is currently constrained on the public transport network due to the social distancing requirements. We expect that public transport capacity will continue to be constrained in September when all children return to school and it will, therefore, be necessary to increase capacity within the system. Merseytravel is therefore inviting operators to tender for the provision of additional school bus services.
