Summary

The tender covers pre-booked, door-to-door, demand-responsive passenger transport in the Gironde area, serving the territories of the Estuaire and Latitude Nord Gironde communities and authorised destinations outside them. It is divided into two geographical lots, with one operator selected for each lot. The framework agreement is performed through individual orders, with no minimum order amount and a maximum amount set for each lot.
