This procurement is classified under the UK industry category for 'Hire of buses and coaches with driver' (CPV code 60172000).

The contract will be awarded following the submission of tenders after the future notice date, which is provided as 3rd April 2017.

Given the variability in booking patterns, peaking during the start of academic terms, service providers capable of demonstrating flexibility and reliability could thrive in this competitive landscape.
