What the buyer is looking for

The contracting authority wishes to conclude one or more framework contracts for the provision of bus travel for the educational activities of the affiliated school communities. The services include travel for excursions, school trips, working weeks, sports activities, cultural trips and other education-related activities at home and abroad. The aim of the tender is to contract a high-quality, safe, reliable and future-proof transport partner who can meet the various transport needs of the participating school communities during the term of the contract. The total annual transport needs are expected to exceed 30 bus trips per year per school community. The exact size of the contract depends on the activities organised by the participating school community and may fluctuate over the term. No rights can be derived from the aforementioned numbers and/or contract value.
