Description
Buckinghamshire Council wish to commission a Demand Responsive Transport Service for Buckinghamshire. The service provision will be divided into 2 lots - one for Aylesbury and one for High Wycombe. Organisations can tender for one or both lots.
LOT 1 - Aylesbury
The scheme for Aylesbury focuses on improving connectivity to the rural areas surrounding Aylesbury (Weedon, Hartwell, Aston Clinton, Weston Turville and Halton) which are currently under-served by traditional bus routes. The DRT service will provide better connections to local economic, retail, education, and healthcare facilities, notably Stoke Mandeville Hospital (SMH) which is an important local employer and a key regional hospital.
The budget for this service is £1,700,000 for the full contract term.
LOT 2 - High Wycombe
The scheme for High Wycombe focuses on improving connectivity to the rural areas surrounding High Wycombe (Booker, Downley, and Wooburn Green). These areas are currently under-served by traditional bus routes so implementing a DRT service will provide better connections to local economic, retail, education and healthcare facilities, notably the Cressex Industrial Park which is a key source of employment in the area, town centre, railway station and hospital.
The budget for this service is £2,600,000 for the full contract term.
The contract start date for both services is Wednesday 1st June 2022. The contract term is 3 years with the option to extend for two further 12 month periods.
