Cropper Limited to provide a Shuttle Bus service, including drivers and vehicles, for connecting its Horsforth Campus with Horsforth Rail Station and the local community. This contract, valued at £750,000, falls within the "Hire of buses and coaches with driver" industry category (CPV code: 60172000). The procurement process followed an open procedure and has moved from the tender to the award stage as of 2nd September 2024, with the contract commencing on the same date and ending on 31st July 2031. The shuttle service will also support the new City Campus at 1 Trevelyan Square, Leeds, set to open in October 2024. This tender offers significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), as the contract allows flexibility to cater to the evolving needs of passengers. Businesses specialised in providing private hire and coach services are well-suited to compete, given the scope of required services and the long-term duration of the contract. Interested suppliers had access to all tender documentation via the university's e-tendering website, ensuring a transparent and competitive bidding process. ## Notice The university seeks to appoint a contractor that will provide a Shuttle Bus service, inclusive of vehicle and driver, for the transportation of passengers via predetermined routes that connect the university's Horsforth Campus to Horsforth Rail Station and local community. The contract will be held between the university and the operator. Third party intermediary, or sub-contract arrangements will not be considered. The University will operate the service as a private hire arrangement using a coach/private hire operator. This is to ensure the service can be adjusted where required to meet the changing needs of passengers and to allow a modest degree of flexibility in the service timetable to better align to exact train arrival and departure times. * Any additional capacity, or new routes and services that may be required to support the university's new City Campus at 1 Trevelyan Square, LS1 6AE which opens in October 2024, and * Any other ad-hoc, organised trips, will also be provided for by this contract. The procurement will be conducted exclusively via the university's e-tendering website, where all documentation can be found and downloaded: https://neupc.delta-esourcing.com/members/leeds-trinity-university/ Accessing a Tender Opportunity via the university's e-tendering website: Once you have created a supplier profile, to respond to an opportunity, click 'Response Manager' or 'View Invites and Responses'.
