Tender description
Delivery of York's home to school transport service for multiple routes to our maintained schools. We expect these to be delivered via buses of varying sizes, and in some instances, taxis. Our previous contract was split into 7 Lots with an approximate value of £5.6million total (excl VAT). Whilst we expect the value to remain similar but in line with cost increases, we are considering a restructure of the Lots. York is also considering including some of the shared routes for our Adult Social Care needs. This may increase the total value of the procurement by a further £400,000 excl VAT.
