School To Pool Transport Framework

A Framework for School to Pool Transport is being created by Sheffield City Council (the Authority) being a Contracting Authority as defined by section 2 of the Procurement Act 2023. The Framework will be for the transportation of school children to swimming pools and back, via coach, in order that the schools may comply with the National Curriculum. In the summary section of this notice, it is stated that 37 tenders were received and evaluated, and that 3 suppliers have been awarded contracts and 34 turned down. This is due to the number of Lots and associated Contracts. The actual number of tenders received was 4. One of these did not meet the Conditions of Participation, so the final number of assessed tenders was 3. These three tenders were then evaluated against 13 different Lots on the framework, and as a result the contracts and awarded suppliers listed are split between the 3 tenders, each of which was awarded multiple positions within the framework.
