## Summary

The University of York is seeking to extend its contract for providing campus bus services through a tender process titled "Campus Bus services." Categorised under public road transport services (CPV code: 60112000), this procurement falls under the services main procurement category. The extension is planned from August 2022 to July 2023, reflecting the complexities resulting from new construction affecting passenger numbers and disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The procurement method employed is limited, specifically negotiated without publication of a contract notice, allowing for a focussed supplier selection. The key contact for this procurement is Rob Hunt, reachable at +44 1904328201.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in transport services, particularly those capable of adapting to changing market demands due to the ongoing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Companies that can offer reliable bus services, sustainable transport options, and possess an understanding of the dynamics of university transport needs will be well-positioned to compete. With the University of York planning market engagement prior to a future re-tender, now is an ideal time for potential suppliers to demonstrate their capacity and innovations in this sector.

### Procurement Information

The University plans to extend the current contract by a further year beyond that originally envisaged, from August 2022 to July 2023, for the following reasons: - The original contract end date was timed to coincide with the construction of new student residences, which may impact upon passenger numbers, and the restoration of Lakeside Way, a private carriageway that was formerly used as a bus route. Due to Covid and other site issues, the construction programme will complete a year later than expected. - The University is operating a new remote working policy which is expected to impact on passenger numbers but it is too soon to assess that impact over the longer term. - The original contract allowed for some refurbishment and other improvements to existing operator buses. The timescales for these improvements have also been adversely affected by Covid. - The University wishes to conduct some market engagement to establish the post-Covid market capability in terms of capacity, sustainable transport options, garage facilities and driver recruitment and retention, prior to re-tendering in early 2023.
