There will be a requirement for pick up and drop offs crossing over boundaries of these Lots, with some journeys involving significant distances outside the geographical regions. The Coach services will have two elements of usage: Planned Coach Service - Provision of pre-booked journey coach with driver hire services on a standing order basis (pre-scheduled coach hire service). These may be booked far in advance and it will be the Contractors responsibility to attend at the appointed location and to ensure the punctuality of the coach, (all Coaches must have access for passengers with mobility difficulties, e.g., wheelchair access) or lone travellers, groups with special needs and their escorts, when required etc. The Contractor will be required to confirm the booking with the institutions booker the day before travel to confirm time and location of coach. Reactive/Ad Hoc - Provision of a coach hire with driver service on an ad-hoc basis (non-scheduled coach hire service) Institutions will try to give advance warning of these requirements, but on occasion this may be requested at short notice. Contractors must make every effort to supply this demand and on any occasion when this is not possible a written (email) explanation must be provided to the institutions booker. There may be a requirement for an additional stop either planned or reactive, or a visit may sometimes over-run. Participating Institutions will require a degree of flexibility from the driver allocated to the journey in such circumstances to accommodate this and ensure our needs are met..
