## Summary

The University of Derby is inviting tenders for Coach Hire Services with Driver under the open procurement method. This requirement is for variable demand throughout the year, particularly from September to June, with coaches often needed on multiple days during term time. The tender period closes on 29th August 2017, and the contract is expected to commence on 11th September 2017, lasting until 9th September 2019. The services will primarily be delivered in the East Midlands region of the UK, specifically in Derby.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in transportation services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can provide flexible coach hire with drivers. Companies with experience in managing variable demand and those capable of servicing multiple bookings during peak periods will be well-positioned to compete. The need for reliable transport solutions during key academic dates, such as open days, highlights the potential for business growth in this sector.

## 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.
