Description

Whilst the main contract objective is the operation of a shuttle service to connect the University campus to the local community and train station in Horsforth, the safe movement of students in the post COVID-19 era is of critical importance and will form a critical part of our strategy. We are seeking tender responses to operate a range of service options; to enhance the accessibility of the university and encourage more of our staff and students to travel by public transport instead of driving to campus
