Description

The University of Leeds requires Coach Hire and Mini

each opportunity.
The pattern of hire services differs from month to
month, averaging about £25,000 per month, with
peaks in January, February and September.
Bookings are normally made around 8-4 weeks ahead
of the relevant event.
Coach hire services are generally required for
students, but occasionally can be required for
members of staff and non-members of staff (including
minors (prospective students)).
An existing framework agreement is due to expire in
