South Fife Local Bus Services - Contract Extensions

Tender description

Fife Council organises local bus services as permitted by Section 63(2) of The Transport Act 1985. The Council wishes to provide bus services to provide links for communities either not served by the commercial bus network or not served by that network on particular days or at particular times of day. These bus services which are the subject of this Notice are in South Fife. South Fife is an area comprising, though not exclusively so, the boundaries of the former Dunfermline District Council. In general terms, this area is bounded by Kincardine, Saline, Kelty, Cardenden, Aberdour and the Forth Coast between Aberdour and Kincardine. The main urban centres are Dunfermline, Rosyth, Inverkeithing, Dalgety Bay, Cowdenbeath, Lochgelly, Cardenden, Kelty and Ballingry. Services may operate wholly within the South Fife area but are not limited by its boundaries and may operate further afield. On 20th February 2019, Fife Council confirmed to successful operators their place on the framework for the provision of South Fife Local Bus Services. Contracts initially awarded under the framework commenced on 19th August 2019 with an end date of 14th August 2022. Information about the award of the framework and contracts awarded under it was published on 7th March 2019 under references: MAR347581 OCID:ocds-r6ebe6-0000560754. This notice is to extend these existing contracts with the incumbent suppliers for a period of 12 months until 13th August 2023 for the reasons detailed in section IV of this notice.
