Award criteria

Description of risks to contract performance

There is an inherent risk that pupil numbers may fluctuate during the contract period due to changes in eligibility, school placements, demographic trends, or mid year admissions and withdrawals. Such variations may result in changes to passenger demand on individual routes, potentially impacting vehicle capacity requirements and overall service viability.

These factors may affect the consistency of the services required and the associated contract value. The Council will manage these risks through ongoing contract monitoring, regular communication with operators, and application of agreed contract variation mechanisms to ensure continuity and value for money.

Should the current geo-political instability continue, there may be an impact on the viability of supplier commitments
