Published requirement descriptionWarwickshire County Council (the Council) is seeking a Demand Responsive
Transport (DRT) scheme into the West Warwick area capable of being booked via a
mobile or tablet-based application and Call Centre. With support from Department
for Transport (DfT) funding in addition to a County Council budget, we will remove
an existing timetabled bus service and replace it with a DRT scheme that will also
cover a wider geographical area. The aim is to provide a high specification service via
an app that customers can book to travel to local centres and services. In line with
DfT funding requirements, we expect to launch the service on the 10th of January
2022.
