Details

Delivery of York's home to school transport service for multiple routes to our maintained schools. We expect these to be delivered via buses of varying sizes, and in some instances, taxis. Our previous contract was split into 7 Lots with an approximate value of £5.6million total (excl VAT). Whilst we expect the value to remain similar but in line with cost increases, we are considering a restructure of the Lots. York is also considering including some of the shared routes for our Adult Social Care needs. This may increase the total value of the procurement by a further £400,000 excl VAT.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this education & training opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the closing date and submission window on the official portal before you start preparing your bid.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
