This tender falls within the transport services industry and aims to provide transportation for children between schools and swimming pools across Sheffield during term time. The contract has a total value of £300,000 and was awarded through an open procurement method. The contract period commenced on 4th September 2017 and runs until 4th September 2021, with the tendering phase concluding on 30th July 2017. The service is essential for ensuring children meet their swimming competency targets mandated by the national curriculum. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in passenger transport services, particularly those operating buses, coaches, or other vehicles capable of transporting large groups. Companies that specialise in the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, and those that can reliably deliver varied transport schedules, will find this contract particularly suitable. With Sheffield City Council as the contracting authority, there is potential for sustained engagement, particularly for operators looking to expand their service offerings within local government contracts. ## Notice The purpose of the framework is to provide a transport service to the council for the carriage of children from their school to a swimming pool and to return them to school following swimming lessons. Children are to be taken to and from schools in Sheffield to any swimming pool within the city. The service will be required during school term time only and the length of contract will be for 12 months, with an option to extend by a further 12 months. The number of journeys and vehicles required on a daily basis will vary between each schedule and may vary between each programme; this will be highlighted in the specification. There is a legal requirement placed on each primary school to ensure children can swim at least 25 metres by 11. The national curriculum states ' that all schools in England must help pupils meet targets which include ensuring they can swim 25 metres unaided by the time they are 11, and carry out speed, distance and survival tests'. This is generally delivered at Key Stage 2 (ages 7-11) level. The swimming training sessions are currently organised through Sheffield City Council's Inclusion and Learning Service and is offered to schools as a traded service and therefore the scope and value for transport can differ, as schools can opt for an alternative. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e8f3a9ca-d6bb-4718-842d-966737a251df | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jul 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Aug 2017 | | Contract period | 3 Sep 2017 - 4 Sep 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £300,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 4PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | ASHLEY TRAVEL; LINBURG TOURING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 60 - Transport services (excl.
