Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
To award the contract for the provision of the
School Swimming Transport Services, after going through a full
tender process. This will ensure that a safe and high-quality
transport provision is provided to children in our borough so that
they can travel from their school to the swimming pool, and visa
versa to access the school swimming provision. The contract is for
3 years from September 2022 up to July 2025, with an option to
extend for a further two years. The level of transport provision
needed is dependant on the level of school buy backs in to the
service each year.
RESOLVED - That:
To award and enter into the contract following the completion of
the tender evaluation process on behalf of the Council due to the
need to award the contract to allow sufficient time for
implementation of the provision and contract start date on week
commencing 12 September 2022.
Option 1 - To award the contract for the
provision of the School Swimming Transport Services, after going
through a full tender process.
Option 2 - To extend the current transport contract for a further
12 months, but the previous Delegated Cabinet Member Decision form
(December 2021) recommended for decision the contract to go out to
tender for procurement to enable better value for money.
Option 2
Other reasons / organisations consulted
Reviews of current provision as well as school
buy backs and SLA's for the upcoming academic year.
