This opportunity falls within the transport services industry and is located in England. Currently, the procurement is at the Tender stage, with submissions closing on 9th May 2022. The estimated value of the contract is £250,000, covering a delivery period from 1st September 2022 to 31st August 2025. The procurement method being used is an open procedure, allowing for a wide range of bidders to participate. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those capable of providing dedicated bus services for educational institutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, especially those with flexibility to adapt services based on demand, as the project includes provisions for additional routes. Companies proficient in managing school transport logistics, ensuring safety features such as seat belts and operational CCTV, will be well-positioned to succeed in this tender. ## Notice This contract is for a dedicated bus service for students attending the school, which takes students from the Eastern edge of its catchment areas. The routes will transport non-statutory, non-fee paying, students. As demand for places at school alters year on year the school would like to be able to expand its bus routes if necessary or offer different routes to support children to attend the school, this could include changing the size of a bus on a particular route or adding another service. Due to this potential extra requirement this tender will be split into two lots. Lot 1 will be for the current requirements of the school detailed below. Route 1 1x70 seat coach fitted with seat belts and operational CCTV Blackhall Colliery Eleventh Street 8.05am Hardwick Hotel 8.10am Kember Hill 8.15am Route 2 1x55 seat coach fitted with seat belts and operational CCTV Horden Thorpe Road 7.50am Opposite Thorntree Gill 7.55am Blackhall Rocks Thornton Terrace 7.57am Bottom of Ocean View 8.00am High Hesleden The Ship Inn 8.05am Shotton Colliery Opposite William Morris Terrace 8.15am The Green 8.17am Salters Lane 8.19am Opposite Dixon Estate 8.21am All buses need to arrive at the school no later than 8.30am and will be expected to leave Wellfield School by 3.30pm with students boarding from 3.15pm for the return journey which is the reverse of the morning routes. The buses run during term time only (190 days). Lot 2 will be a call off lot that will provide the school with the flexibility to add additional resource to current routes or the introduction of new routes depending on demand. We require bidders to submit a response that details the cost to introduce these extra services, per day and per vehicle to match existing fleet capabilities e.g. 30-seater coach, 50-seater coach, 70-seater coach. Lot 2 will be for information only and will not form part of the overall tender score, however, we would expect costs provided to be in line with the bidder's response to Lot 1.
