Business impact assessment – School transport

Summary

This is a market consultation concerning Turku City’s planned competitive tender for school transport services, not a contract notice or invitation to tender. Companies are asked to provide feedback on the business impacts of the planned procurement through the online form by 17 September 2026 at 08:00 UTC. The planned contract period is 1 August 2027 to 31 July 2029, with a possible two-year extension option. The estimated annual value is approximately €2,500,000. The procurement is expected to be divided into several lots; the current contract has had 10 packages covering, among other things, transport for larger schools, early childhood education transport, transport outside Turku and special transport. The future service provider would arrange, plan and optimise the required vehicle fleet and combine children into logistically sensible transport routes. The consultation is non-binding, and the city is not committed to carrying out the procurement on its basis.
