Road transport services

Tender description

The purpose of supported transport is to plan, procure and manage transport services that are required to transport members of the public to essential amenities in the county, such as mainstream and special schools and social care establishments. The service also facilitates transport for some isolated communities through community transport initiatives and its own Comet Bus. We also manage the concessionary fares scheme, which allows for free travel for the elderly and some disability groups. The service typically procures over 1 500 unique routes over the course of a year, ranging from procuring just a single journey to a long-term arrangement over several years.
