## Description
North Northamptonshire Council (hereafter referred to as 'the Council') requires quotations for the operation of the following; 
Lots 1 to 6 
These Lots are for the strengthening of rural accessibility through the provision of CB1, CB2, CB5, CB14 and 601 between Oundle, Corby and Rushden Lakes. In each case we are looking what savings are to be made by putting the school journey (601) and journeys to Rushden Lakes. We are also looking at the viability of a regular journey at 09:15 from Corby to Rushden Lakes every Mondays to Fridays, (although this could be via different routes). 
Lots 7 to 14 
These Lots are for the strengthening of rural accessibility through the provision of CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5 and CB6 between Corby and Stamford, Rushden Lakes, Corby and Market Harborough.
