## Summary

The Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) is currently concluding the procurement process for a Shuttle Service, titled "Shuttle Service - AWARD". This award falls under the services category, specifically motor vehicles for transporting more than ten persons. The contract will commence on 1st September 2019 and will be effective for one year, concluding on 31st August 2020, with a possibility of a one-year extension. The contract was awarded on 16th August 2019 to The Kings Ferry Ltd, following an open procurement method and open procedure.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for transport service providers to expand their operations, particularly those with experience in managing shuttle services for educational institutions. Businesses specialising in passenger transport, especially those with the capability to provide minibuses with a minimum seating capacity of 16, will be well-positioned to compete. Given the contract's public sector nature, suppliers that can demonstrate a strong history of reliability and value for money in similar contexts will be particularly favoured.

## Notice

Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) is currently renewing its Shuttle Service provision. CCCU currently provides a shuttle service for Students and Staff which runs a regular service in Canterbury from 07:00 - 18:10 between, Monday to Friday, to a number of different set locations around Canterbury, Kent. This provision is required to be in place from 1st September 2019 and will run for a period of 12 months until 31st August 2020 with the potential for an additional extension for 12 months at the end of the original contract period. The University is looking to appoint a provider that is able to evidence relevant technical experience of successfully providing and managing similar services previously. The university also has a requirement for the vehicles that are to be used for this service should be minibuses with a minimum of 16 seats in order to accommodate the demand at peak times. In order for CCCU to ensure that it appoints the most appropriate supplier and ensures value for money, CCCU will be running a tender exercise to appoint a single provider for this Shuttle Service provision.
