Description

The Council has been developing a recommissioning plan for the School Transport provision with a new approach commencing in September 2021. In talking to current providers, there is a preference for longer contracts which will enable further investment in tracking technology, greener vehicles and generally larger scale contracts so they can build working arrangements and relationships with specific schools.
