Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Trinity University is seeking a contractor to provide a Shuttle Bus service, inclusive of vehicle and driver, to transport passengers along predetermined routes connecting the university's Horsforth Campus, Horsforth Rail Station, and the local community. This public procurement falls under the Services category and revolves around hiring buses and coaches with drivers (CPV Code: 60172000). The procurement has been completed with an open procedure, resulting in W. Cropper Limited being awarded the contract, valued at £750,000. The service is set to commence in October 2024 to align with the opening of the university's new City Campus at 1 Trevelyan Square, LS1 6AE. The initial contract may be extended up to six additional years based on performance, with a final expiry date of 31st July 2031.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the transportation sector, particularly those specialising in private hire coach services. Companies capable of providing flexible and high-quality shuttle services stand to benefit greatly from this long-term contract. The arrangement ensures fixed and potentially increasing transportation needs as the university expands its campuses. SMEs like the awarded supplier, W. Cropper Limited, exemplify the types of businesses well-suited for such contracts, positioning them for stable growth and the potential for additional service requests linked to the university's future requirements and ad-hoc organised trips.

Notice Title

University Shuttle Bus 2024

Notice Description

The university seeks to appoint a contractor that will provide a Shuttle Bus service, inclusive of vehicle and driver, for the transportation of passengers via predetermined routes that connect the university's Horsforth Campus to Horsforth Rail Station and local community. The contract will be held between the university and the operator. Third party intermediary, or sub-contract arrangements will not be considered. The University will operate the service as a private hire arrangement using a coach/private hire operator. This is to ensure the service can be adjusted where required to meet the changing needs of passengers and to allow a modest degree of flexibility in the service timetable to better align to exact train arrival and departure times. * Any additional capacity, or new routes and services that may be required to support the university's new City Campus at 1 Trevelyan Square, LS1 6AE which opens in October 2024, and * Any other ad-hoc, organised trips, will also be provided for by this contract.
