The university seeks to appoint a contractor that will provide a Shuttle Bus service, inclusive of vehicle and driver, for the transportation of passengers via predetermined routes that connect the university's Horsforth Campus to Horsforth Rail Station and local community.
The contract will be held between the university and the operator. Third party intermediary, or sub-contract arrangements will not be considered.

• Any additional capacity, or new routes and services that may be required to support the university's new City Campus at 1 Trevelyan Square, LS1 6AE which opens in October 2024, and
