About
Oxfordshire County Council awarded a contract to Arriva the Shires Ltd t/a Arriva Midlands, Thames Transit Ltd t/a Stagecoach Oxfordshire, and The City of Oxford Motor Services Limited for home to school transport season tickets.
The contract, valued at £2,085,048, supports the Council's statutory duty to provide free transport for entitled students to their allocated schools.
The Council spends approximately £8.5m annually on mainstream home to school services, primarily through outsourced contracts with coach and taxi operators.
Season tickets are purchased where suitable public service transport routes are available.
Previously, exception reports were approved for direct award due to limited market suppliers, but for 2022-23 an alternative route to market was sourced.
