This procurement process is currently in the Award stage following the completion of the tender period that concluded on 8 December 2016. The initial contract for the Chesterton route has already commenced on 5 January 2017, while the other routes are set to start in August 2017, with a total contract value of £154,760 expected to be spent by 31 July 2018. The primary industry category for this procurement is "Hire of buses and coaches with driver" within the North West region of England. This procurement opportunity is ideal for businesses in the transport and logistics sector, particularly those equipped to provide scheduled bus and coach services. Businesses that can demonstrate experience in similar contracts and have adequate fleet resources, such as a variety of vehicles including those with at least 15 to 67 seats, will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, smaller enterprises may find this a suitable opportunity, as suppliers are encouraged to submit references from previous similar contracts, fostering potential growth and engagement in the educational transport sector. ## Notice South Cheshire College has a requirement for the provision of scheduled Student Transport services on five routes which are included in this tender as separate lots: Lot 1 - Chesterton SCC2 (Contract start 05/01/2017) Lot 2 - Whitchurch SCC3 (Contract start 01/08/17) Lot 3 - Clutton SCC12 (Contract start 01/08/17) Lot 4 - Alsager SCC14A (Contract start 01/08/17) Lot 5 - Sandbach SCC16 (Contract start 01/08/17) Please be aware that the contract start and end dates differ depending upon route, with one route (SCC2) to start in January 2017, and the remaining four routes tendered for service during the academic year 2017/18 (ie, service to start in September 2017): You may bid for any or all of the lots.

Please provide names and contact details for at least two customers for whom you have supplied a similar service within the last 3 years (by doing so you confirm that you have approached your referees and have confirmed that they will be available during the tender period, and are happy for us to contact them). NB: If you have provided Student Transport services to South Cheshire College within the last 3 years, or have supplied references to South Cheshire College in relation to a Student Transport tender within the last 3 months, you do not need to submit references for this tender - your reliability will be assessed using either your recorded history of reliability in providing those services to the College, or the references previously provided.
