Market dialogue on operational arrangement and dispatching services and flexible transport capacity for Rauma school transport

Summary

This is a market dialogue for Rauma's planned school transport service, not a contract notice or invitation to submit bids. The planned service would cover the operational arrangement, trip scheduling and dispatching of school transport, together with flexible transport capacity. The service provider would arrange the use of the contracting authority's vehicles charged at daily rates and provide additional flexible capacity for journeys that are not suitable for that model. The contracting authority would retain decision-making authority over transport entitlements, transport principles, service levels, supervision and complaint handling. The market dialogue seeks operators' views on the feasibility of the service model, flexible capacity, pricing, system and monitoring solutions, vehicle requirements, implementation, and the clarity of the draft tender documents. The response deadline is 22 September 2026 at 11:00. Participation does not bind an operator to take part in a later competition, and non-participation does not prevent later participation.
