Decision details

Award of Framework Agreement for Supported Bus Passenger Transport Services

Decision Maker: Executive

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To approve the award of the Bus Passenger Transport Framework to the qualifying operators, following the evaluation of submitted tender applications.

Decision:

That the Framework Agreement for Supported Bus Passenger Transport Services  be awarded to the transport operators identified in the Confidential Annex 1 of the Director of Environment, Culture and Communities report.

Reasons for the decision:

1          The tenderers have met the minimum thresholds set for quality which allow them to be invited to tender for routes without further qualification.

2          The officers have worked to the approved procurement plan.

 

Alternative options considered:

Not to award a new Framework Agreement and instead to extend the current Framework. This was discounted as the new Framework includes an additional local bus operator who is likely to bid for services and this additional competition should help keep costs for services as low as possible.

Reason Key: Affects more than 1 ward;

Wards Affected: (All Wards);

Financial Impact: Within existing budget

Making Representations: In writing to the Director of Environment Culture and Communities
