Tender description

Stoke-on-Trent City Council offers a swimming service to local schools. Part of the service is the provision of transport to and from the schools and their chosen swimming pool. We are seeking a single coach operator to provide the complete transport solution. The schedule can be intense and, on occasions, a different vehicle from that used for the outward trip may be required for the return trip. Conversely, the same vehicle may be utilised to take different schools to differing pool facilities, hence the opportunity for efficiency is maximised with a single operator. This also allows us to be able to offer the schools a co-ordinated service.
