two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Our Buxton campus operates mostly from the Devonshire Road site within Buxton and the
Stockwell Road site in Leek. A full list of current routes operated by commercial operators
and by the internal transport department can be found in appendix b.
Current challenges are that public transport within Buxton and Leek is heavily orientated
Page 7 to 12
towards facilitating travel out of the Buxton and Leek towns towards Stockport and
Manchester and do not facilitate frequent and flexible travel to our teaching sites. The towns
are in remote locations with many of our staff and students attending Buxton and Leek living
in remote residential areas thus requiring transport routes that reach out to a wide
geographical spread.
The existing value of the public transport for our Buxton Campus is £450,000 per year.
