TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE 26 JUNE 2019 EDUCATION AND CHILDRENS SERVICES COMMITTEE 26 JUNE 2019

PROVISION OF SCHOOL AND PUBLIC BUS SERVICES:

Report by Director for Communities

PURPOSE OF REPORT To provide the Comhairle with the results of the tenders received for Lewis and Harris School and Public Bus Services and options for Service Redesign.

COMPETENCE

1.1 There are no legal, financial, equalities or other constraints to the recommendations being implemented. The implementation of the Comhairle’s Budget Strategy will require the Comhairle to consider its compliance with statutory duties, carry out equality impact assessments and put in place appropriate risk management arrangements.

SUMMARY

2.1 The review of Lewis and Harris School and Public bus services is part of the Transportation Service Redesign with a savings target of 25% of the £4.429m annual revenue budget, amounting to £1.658m.

2.2 To maximise the choice of service delivery choices, the tender included five prescribed service options and four operator designed options.

2.3 The lowest priced tender submission would deliver savings of £1.456m, £0.202m below the target savings. However, Option 3 provides a much higher level of public bus service and provides savings of £1.364m. Full details of all the cost of each option are provided in paragraph 4.4 below.

2.4 With the exception of Option 5b, evening bus services are not preserved unless included within operator designed bids. A full review of Community Transport funding is to be carried out once the level of service choice for Lewis and Harris bus services has been determined. Should evening bus services not be included in the approved contract, consideration will be given to use a revised Community Transport strategy a means of supporting community based, third sector organisations to provide services that mitigate this change.

2.5 Six Community Conversations are being held on 24 and 25 June 2019 to allow the public to comment on the options and inform the Equality Impact and Fairer Assessments. There is also the opportunity to comment online on the proposals. Further information will be provided ahead of the Committee to allow Members to consider this information in making their decision.

RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 It is recommended that the Comhairle:

a) note the results of the tendering process and the price of each of the options set out in the Report; b) in light of the separately circulated Impact Assessments determine which option to adopt; c) agree that further conversations on Community Transport be continued through the Transformational Change process; and d) request the Director for Communities to consider options to realise the balance of savings needed, in consultation with the Budget Board.

Contact Officer: David Macleod, Head of Municipal Services, Ext. 213 611 Appendix: None Background Papers: Appendix 1: Bus Service Options Comparison

BACKGROUND

4.1 Nine service options were provided to Bus Operators for Lewis and Harris School and Public Bus services. All require the provision of home to school transport for entitled pupils.

 Options 1 to 5 were based on fixed service specifications  Options 1 and 2 provide public transport for morning and early evening commuter transport only  Options 3 and 4 provide daytime bus services at a reduced level  Options 1 and 3 do not provide capacity for non-entitled pupils  Options 1, 2, 3 and 4 do not provide evening bus services  Nine service options were provided to Bus operators.  All require the provision of home to school transport for entitled pupils  Options 6 and 7 were operator designed, fixed price, output specification based on large Lots  The Lots were designated as L1, L2, L3 and L4 for Lewis and H1 for Harris  Competent bids were received for a number of the Option 6/7 Lots  Options 8 and 9 were operator designed, fixed price, output specification services based on a single Lot for all Lewis and Harris school and public bus services  No tenders were received for Option 8 or Option 9

4.2 Under all options non-entitled pupils would be able to use the service where capacity permitted this. However under Options 1, 3 and 6 buses have been sized for optimum capacity based on the requirement for entitled children only.

4.3 Table 1 provides a summary of the current budget and the savings target:

Current cost of Lewis and Harris School & Public bus services £4,429,000

Savings Target £1,658,000

4.3 The bids received for Options 1 to Option 5b are shown in Table 2. These include Option 7 and amalgamated bids where economically advantageous.

4.4 The net savings include an estimate for the cost of continuation of services that were not priced in the current tender process and the cost of restructuring in-house bus service provision. For Option 1 and 2, this increases net costs by £202,802. For Option 3 and 4, this increases net costs by £135,802. Finally, for Option 5b, this increases net costs by £11,000.

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 Option 5a Option 5b Totals £2,769,920 £2,885,965 £2,928,769 £2,985,991 £3,444,172 £3,446,968

Net savings £1,456,278 £1,340,233 £1,364,429 £1,307,207 £948,828 £971,023

Savings Shortfall £201,722 £317,767 £293,571 £350,793 £709,172 £686,977

4.5 Although Option 1 offers the greater level of savings, this would result in a greatly diminished public bus service and is not considered to represent good value, particularly in comparison with Option 3.

4.6 Option 3 and Option 4 will maintain daytime public bus services, but with some service reductions in certain areas. A side by side comparison of the service for Option 3 for each area, compared to Option 5, is provided in Appendix 1.

4.7 Due to the inclusion of operator design bids, for Option 3 and Option 4, a limited evening bus service will be provided in a small number of areas. However, there will be areas that lose their current service provision for evening buses. A summary of the provision of day and evening public services is shown in Appendix 1.

4.8 It is intended that a review of Community Transport funding is carried out as soon as the level of continuing public bus service is known. The current Community Transport strategy is based on the Scottish Executive Rural Transport Fund from 1998. As control of this funding now lies with the Comhairle, a revised strategy for Community Transport could provide an opportunity for third sector organisations, possibly with extended access to vehicle resources, to provide mitigation measures for effected communities.

Equality Impact Assessment

5.1 It is a legislative requirement to consider how service changes may impact, either positively or negatively, on different sectors of the population in different ways

5.2 There are two evaluation processes, Equality Impact Assessment and Fairer Scotland Impact Assessment. A series of community conversations are being held on 24 and 25 June 2019 which, together with any comments received online, will inform these Assessments, full details of which will be circulated to Members ahead of the Comhairle meetings.
