Regular and Occasional Extracurricular Transport for Children

Summary

The procurement concerns extracurricular transport for children attending the four leisure centres of the Vierzon-Sologne-Berry community: regular routes and transport arranged as needed. It is divided into two lots: regular transport and occasional transport. Regular services include morning and evening routes; the supplied schedules show weekday journeys during school holidays, with some routes requiring 40-seat capacity. For occasional journeys, bidders must provide unit prices for return trips classified by distance and duration; the price schedule gives estimated, non-binding quantities. The framework agreement runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029 and may be awarded to up to five operators. Bids must be submitted electronically by 29 October 2026 at 12:00 and remain valid for 90 days. Environmental quality (6 points) and social measures (4 points) are also assessed. Bidders should prioritise less-polluting vehicles, plan routes to reduce fuel use and emissions, and match vehicle size to passenger numbers. During performance, if the contractor uses its own fleet, all assigned drivers must receive eco-driving training at least annually; where transport is subcontracted, the contractor must encourage the service providers to do the same. Social measures should support staff professional development, inclusion, equality and non-discrimination.
