Overview

School Admin welcomes proposals from capable school transport operators to provide daily bus services to schools based in and around Opunake, South Taranaki.

The network presently comprises 13 routes with a daily distance more than 1300km.

The Purchaser seeks to form a long-term contractual relationship with a high-performing bus operator running a quality fleet. An initial contract term of eight years plus two automatic extensions will provide the Supplier with the opportunity to make a cost-effective capital investment in their fleet while offering excellent value-for-money to the Purchaser.

School Admin maintains a comprehensive monitoring programme to ensure that school bus operators continue to perform at high standards. This involves bi-annual operator self-monitoring and monthly reporting on route compliance, health and safety and driver performance. An operator with the ability to consistently perform at a high standard can expect a minimum contract term of sixteen years if they can meet the defined standards.

The Purchaser also seeks to improve the delivery and management of school bus services and will consider the opportunities offered by technology including vehicle location technology, video monitoring, and passenger boarding technology. The Purchaser will work in partnership with the Supplier to implement such technologies, ensuring that additional costs are met in such a way that reflects the partnering approach.
