Decision details

Approval is being sought to award and enter into a contract with Swans Travel for 3 years + an option for 2 years extension for the Schools Linking Project (SLP) and the Outdoor and Environmental Education Service (OEES).

RESOLVED - That to award and enter into a contract with the preferred bidder (Swans Travel) for the SLP and OEES based on the scores awarded under the procurement process.

Option 1 - Not to award a contract to the highest scoring bidder and to undertake another procurement process – this would incur further cost and cause potential disruption to service delivery if we are without a transport contract in place.

Option 2 - Not to award a contract to the highest scoring bidder, Swans Travel, and not undertake another procurement process. This would have even wider reaching implications, such as further costs, potential disruption to service delivery and unpredictable and excessive changes to cost that the council might be forced to take to ensure service continuity and delivery of services laid out within SLA’s.
