## Summary

The University of Derby is undertaking a public procurement process for Coach Hire Services with Driver, classified under the CPV code for the hire of buses and coaches. This tender process has been completed, with a total contract value of £500,000. The requirement is ongoing throughout the year, particularly peaking from September to June, with buses needed frequently during term time and for specific events. The contract commenced on 19th October 2017 and extends until 19th September 2019. The tender was awarded under an open procurement method, with the award notice published on 22nd October 2017.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those equipped to provide coach hire. Companies that are small to medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this process beneficial, as they can compete for contracts that require flexibility and availability throughout the academic year. Potential suppliers should have the capacity to manage varying demands, especially during busy periods such as open days, making it an ideal fit for local transport providers and larger firms in the East Midlands region.

## Notice

The University of Derby has a requirement for coaches, throughout the whole year. Demand is variable and the busiest times are September to June. Coaches are required on the majority of days during term time, and sometimes as many as eight coaches may be needed, for example on open days. There is also work outside of the main term time.
