## Summary

Merseytravel is inviting tenders for the "Resource Based School Bus Contracts," which focuses on enhancing public transport capacity in the North West of the United Kingdom. As the new school term approaches, there is a pressing need for additional school bus services due to social distancing measures currently in place. The open procurement process is active, with the tender period closing on 24th July 2020, and contracts expected to commence on 1st September 2020, lasting until 23rd December 2020. The total value of the contract is £150,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in transport services, particularly those that can provide additional school bus capabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this procurement process, capitalising on the increased demand for safe and accessible transport solutions for school children in the region.

## Notice

Capacity is currently constrained on the public transport network due to the social distancing requirements. We expect that public transport capacity will continue to be constrained in September when all children return to school and it will, therefore, be necessary to increase capacity within the system. Merseytravel is therefore inviting operators to tender for the provision of additional school bus services.
