Description
The University of Sunderland and its subsidiaries are looking to engage with a one stop shop supplier for its Bus & Coach hire with driver requirements, from approximately October 2022 to October 2025 (with up to 2 x 1 year extensions taking it to a possible October 2027 contract).
The overall contract value is estimated at GBP £900,000 over 5 years' (the maximum contract length) i.e. GBP £180,000 per annum (excluding VAT where applicable) - note there are no guarantees on spend levels. We also reserve the right to spend an additional 50% of the original anticipated spend, subject to changes to requirements across the University for the duration of the award.
Our coach and bus requirements vary throughout the year and in the past have included various student sports team journeys, school visits to and from our Sunderland campuses, open-day shuttle buses across the campuses, airport collections, various student trips across the North-East and beyond (including for example our London Campus), and any other journeys that may be required (both ad-hoc and routine).
Bus and coach providers must have available a variety of vehicles to ensure the specific journey and groups are serviced appropriately (including some with wheelchair access, etc). Additionally, a clear booking process, essential duty of care, fleet maintenance and cleanliness, clear management responsibilities and experienced fully trained drivers are required to meet our requirements.
