## Summary

Leeds Beckett University is seeking suppliers to provide coach hire with drivers for staff and student travel on trips and to events throughout the year. Services are needed on weekdays and weekends, during office hours and evenings, and occasionally overnight. The work is for journeys in the Leeds area. This is passenger transport by bus and coach, rather than vehicle hire without a driver.

The university invited offers through an open procedure for a single-lot contract. The estimated gross value is £872,000. Bids were due by 4 November 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries by 30 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030. The university planned to conclude the award by 18 November 2026. Evaluation gives 40% to price, 20% to vehicles, 15% to customer service, 15% to health and safety, and 10% to social value. The contract uses a framework: suppliers are invited to quote for individual trips, with the cheapest supplier that can fulfil each trip selected.

The requirement suits coach operators able to provide drivers and vehicles for varied staff and student journeys, including weekday, weekend, evening and occasional overnight work. Suppliers need the capacity to respond to separate trip requests over a multi-year framework and to provide vehicles suitable for the journeys required. Customer service and health and safety together account for 30% of the evaluation, so bidders should be able to demonstrate dependable passenger service and robust safety practices. Social value contributes a further 10%. Small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable to compete. The framework’s trip-by-trip quotation model favours operators able to price competitively while reliably meeting each journey’s requirements.
