Proven experience in delivering flexible, on-demand passenger transport services, including school trips and community events.

Commitment to safety, including a strong health and safety record, robust safeguarding practices, and compliance with all relevant transport regulations.

Environmental awareness, with efforts to reduce emissions and adopt sustainable transport practices where possible.

Financial stability, with the ability to deliver services reliably and within agreed budgets.

Appropriate insurance cover, including public liability and employer’s liability aligned with the scale and nature of operations.

Interested Contractors should review this Prior Information Notice in full and follow instructions stated to the Additional Information section to aid the council in developing this requirement.
