Scope of services
This scope of bus services is to undertake a Competitive Dialogue Procedure for the bus service provision for the University of Derby, Derby Campus and Buxton & Leek College, Buxton Campus. We are seeking collaboration and partnership with potential service operators to work with the University and support the delivery of its travel and transport planning though sustainable and innovative bus services.
Key deliverable outcomes for these bus services include:
• Providing safe and efficient bus services that enable travelling to our sites for all
• Reducing operating costs wherever possible
• Lowering our carbon emissions and supporting the University's environmental policy and sustainable travel plan.
The University is keen to explore opportunities for collaborative services that can reduce the operating cost of the bus services and options to explore utilising and partnering with existing commercial services and re-instating passenger fares should be encouraged.
Collaborative partnerships which can also assist in delivering sustainable travel with reduced carbon emissions should also be encouraged.
The pre-pandemic value of this Unibus service is £624k per year. The University will consider longer term contracts working in partnership where investment may be required to deliver demonstrable objectives. For example, 5 + 5 year terms will be considered where deliverable and strategic transport objectives can be evidenced over that period of time.
