Description
This contract is for a dedicated bus service for students attending the school, which takes students from the Eastern edge of its catchment areas. The routes will transport non-statutory, non-fee paying, students.
As demand for places at school alters year on year the school would like to be able to expand its bus routes if necessary or offer different routes to support children to attend the school, this could include changing the size of a bus on a particular route or adding another service.
Due to this potential extra requirement this tender will be split into two lots.
Lot 1 will be for the current requirements of the school detailed below.
Route 1
1x70 seat coach fitted with seat belts and operational CCTV
Blackhall Colliery
Eleventh Street 8.05am
Hardwick Hotel 8.10am
Kember Hill 8.15am
Route 2
1x55 seat coach fitted with seat belts and operational CCTV
Horden
Thorpe Road 7.50am
Opposite Thorntree Gill 7.55am
Blackhall Rocks
Thornton Terrace 7.57am
Bottom of Ocean View 8.00am
High Hesleden
The Ship Inn 8.05am
Shotton Colliery
Opposite William Morris Terrace 8.15am
The Green 8.17am
Salters Lane 8.19am
Opposite Dixon Estate 8.21am
All buses need to arrive at the school no later than 8.30am and will be expected to leave Wellfield School by 3.30pm with students boarding from 3.15pm for the return journey which is the reverse of the morning routes. The buses run during term time only (190 days).
Lot 2 will be a call off lot that will provide the school with the flexibility to add additional resource to current routes or the introduction of new routes depending on demand. We require bidders to submit a response that details the cost to introduce these extra services, per day and per vehicle to match existing fleet capabilities e.g. 30-seater coach, 50-seater coach, 70-seater coach.
Lot 2 will be for information only and will not form part of the overall tender score, however, we would expect costs provided to be in line with the bidder's response to Lot 1.
