To consider a number of tenders for the
provision of school and public transport services.
Relevant Overview and Scrutiny Committee: Regeneration, Community
and Culture
189/2009 The Cabinet agreed the contract
awards for the following: Yellow bus MY1&2 service to Manns
Travel. Yellow bus MY3 service to Chalkwell Coach & Hire Tours.
Supported bus services 120/121, 134, 136, 675 to Arriva Southern
Counties. Park and Ride to Arriva Southern Counties.
The results show that each contract has
clearly been awarded on the basis of the most economically
advantageous tender. The breakdown of the 100% final score for each
of the tenders put forward for each bus service was constructed to
obtain the best quality vehicle and operation for the best
price.The Yellow Bus school service MY1&2 is awarded to Manns
Travel. This option also provides for the best quality vehicle that
could be tendered for, a purpose built school bus. This will allow
for greater capacity on the vehicle and thus allow greater access
for pupils that wish to utilise the service and reduce the cost per
student rate.
The Yellow Bus school service MY3 is awarded to Chalkwell Coach
& Hire Tours. Again, the option provides for the highest
quality of vehicle that could be tendered for, providing the same
potential benefits of greater passenger utilisation.The supported
bus services 675, 136, 134, and 120/121 are awarded to Arriva
Southern Counties. The Park and Ride service is also awarded to
Arriva Southern Counties. The high scores across all of these
services should ensure an increase in quality for these services,
as well as making their proposals the most economically
advantageous options.
