Description

Derbyshire County Council is seeking transport operators to provide safe, punctual, reliable and affordable service for passengers across the County as part of the Derbyshire Connect group of services.
There are two separate parts to this tender -

1) The Active Travel to Health element - this service enables elderly or disabled people who struggle to use conventional public transport services to reach health related appointments such as hospitals, doctors surgeries, dentists, opticians, clinics etc. For the purposes of this element of the tender Derbyshire has been divided into 4 areas.

2) The Bus Service element- this service enables elderly or disabled people who struggle to use conventional public transport or people in areas where there is no local public transport to reach their local town centre and/or major supermarket to allow them to access essential shopping and other activities. For the purposes of this element of the tender Derbyshire has been divided into 2 areas

The initial contract to provide these services is for 2 ½ years however this may be extended to 3 ½ years. During that time is likely that the services will evolve to take account of changes in demand to provide for the transport needs of all public transport users in areas otherwise difficult to serve by conventional public transport.

Operators can choose to apply for one or more specific individual service elements in the specified areas.
