Services will include the provision of fully maintained vehicles, qualified drivers, journey planning, and operational support to ensure compliant and efficient transport delivery. Vehicles offered will include coaches and minibuses with varying seating capacities to accommodate different group sizes and accessibility needs. Vehicles must be equipped with safety features, seatbelts, and comfort amenities appropriate to the journey type. To fulfil these requirements, the University is looking to create a single-lot Framework.
