CWC requires urgent replacement of its fleet of 24 passenger carrying fleet vehicles operated by its Travel Unit. The current fleet of 24 vehicles has gone beyond its life expectancy and is in urgent need of replacement.
In addition to the immediate purchase requirement of 24 vehicles, a further 15 vehicles may be purchased in the future. These additional purchases will be dependent on the outcome of service reviews that are currently underway. CWC will advertise this additional requirement now so as not to have to undertake and repeat this procurement exercise should the additional vehicles be required and subject to capital budget funding be available.
The replacement vehicles are required to provide suitable assisted transport for passengers with special educational needs and disabilities, both children and adults.
