Description

Southend on Sea Borough Council wishes to engage with Providers to gain realistic and practical information regarding the availability within the current market of a single Provider to operate a fully integrated passenger transport service via a joint venture partnership/company. This exercise will also help the Council to shape the specification for its forthcoming tender exercise for the provision of a passenger transport service. The Council's estimated spend for its passenger transport is currently circa £2m per annum, but it is incumbent on the Council to take advantage of any opportunities to make savings where possible. It is anticipated that the integration of all its passenger transport service will deliver a more efficient service that demonstrates cashable savings and best value for the Council. Interested providers are required to register on the Council's etendering portal: https://procurement.southend.gov.uk/ and complete on the online questionnaire.
