Summary of the contracting process

Chorley Council, acting on behalf of Chorley Leisure Ltd, initiated a procurement process for the "Chorley School Swimming Transport 2026/7" service. The procurement belongs to the services industry category and involves arranging transport for school swimming activities. It covers the Chorley area, within the region UKD47 in the United Kingdom. The procurement followed an open method, allowing for competition below threshold, and was managed through the platform "The Chest." Key dates for this process included the submission deadline on 29th June 2026, with the contract subsequently awarded to SLINE TRAVEL LIMITED on 16th July 2026. The contract becomes active on 1st September 2026 and runs until 20th July 2027, with a total value of £99,270.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transportation services, particularly those capable of providing passenger vehicles with drivers. It offers the chance to engage in sustainable contractual work with a public sector body. The contract was evaluated based on a combination of price and quality, making it favourable for companies that can deliver cost-efficient yet high-quality transport solutions. Consequently, businesses with expertise in managing school or community transport, and possessing a strong local presence, stand well-positioned to compete in similar procurement opportunities within the public sector.
