Peninsula Local Bus & Education Transport Network

Tender for services from September 2012

Supplier Guide

Version 3 (19/1/12)

Introduction

The contract for the local bus “D” services network operated by Stephensons of on behalf of Essex County Council (ECC) will expire at the end of August 2012. The Passenger Transport team has conducted a detailed consultation exercise with parish representatives and the general public throughout 2011 with the aim of reassessing the needs of the local community and how our services can be designed to better meet those needs. This has come during a time of increased financial pressures on the transport industry and ECC.

The consultation has produced several options which have the potential to deliver a service more closely aligned to needs, together with the opportunity to achieve better value for money. ECC has a subsidy limit of £5 cost per passenger journey. The current service is operating close to this limit and it is acknowledged that changes are necessary to ensure this limit is not breached, in order to safeguard our ability to meet the needs of residents.

The has close ties with three major secondary schools, which are generally located at key employment, education, healthcare, general shopping and leisure destinations. The opportunity has arisen to tender the bulk of ECC’s statutory education transport requirements to these schools at the same time as the bus network. It will be possible for suppliers to propose combined bids where they are able to offer better value by doing so.

Tender Options

Local bus options will be as follows: • Hybrid bus and Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) network; hourly bus service linking and Mayland, Steeple, , and with DRT for remaining areas unserved by the existing 31X commercial service • 2 x two-hourly services linking Maldon and Burnham-on-Crouch via parishes broadly north and south of the existing 31X commercial service • March 2012 “D” network with withdrawal of D5 and D3 services • DRT for the entire peninsula, taking passengers to their destination directly or via 31X/rail connections

Education transport will be for these schools: • Ormiston Rivers Academy, Burnham-on-Crouch • The William De Ferrers School, • The Plume School, Maldon

Bids are invited for 1, 4 and 7 year minimum terms of operation.

Supplier Participation

The tender is open to all suppliers subject to our standard Education Transport and Local Bus terms & conditions (available as attachments) with certain amendments as specified in the specifications. Bids are invited from commercial and voluntary sector (note that for local bus work a section 22 licence will be required) operators.

Many elements of the work are being advertised using ‘output based’ specifications without timetables, to enable suppliers to meet needs in the most efficient way they can. This is a new way of tendering for ECC and suppliers should not hesitate to contact us if there are any questions about how these operate.

Consortium bids will be considered. Where suppliers wish to tender jointly, it must be clearly stated whether a single prime contractor is intended to be responsible for all work or if responsibilities will be divided between parties.

Tender Process & Support

The tender will be conducted electronically on the Ariba e-sourcing portal. This has replaced Bravo as ECC’s e-sourcing service. Full instructions will be provided throughout the tender and training has been made available to suppliers during January. Combined bids of of a local bus lot and/or education lot(s) must be submitted in a separate file where prompted. It must be made explicitly clear which lots are being combined and for what length of contract. For each combination a separate annual rate breakdown (based on the standard principles quoted in the pricing sections) must be supplied for each lot included in the combination.There will be an opportunity to attach additional information at the end of the tender.

Due to the nature of Ariba and in the interests of simplicity, only one attachment can be uploaded for any one question. If you need to submit multiple files please place them in a single zip file before uploading.

It is essential that all tender related correspondence is directed through the message board facility on Ariba for audit purposes. Communications via other means will be redirected. In most cases, the answers to any questions will be sent to all participants.

Lead officers for the tender will be:

Paul Rowden – Senior Local Bus Officer (local bus & DRT elements, tender co- ordination) Email: [email protected]

Stephen Good – Transport Operations Manager - Education Transport (education transport elements) Email: [email protected]

Rachael Price – Senior Accessibility Planning Officer (consultation, local bus & DRT elements, tender co-ordination) Email: [email protected]

As well as training and guidance from ECC, a freephone helpline for technical issues is provided by Ariba. Details can be found within the Ariba portal by following the ‘contact’ links.

Partnership Working

Due to the significance of the services being tendered and the changes that will be delivered for passengers, the winning supplier(s) and ECC will be expected to demonstrate partnership working and collaboration throughout the life of the contract. ECC will review performance closely, especially during the mobilisation and service launch phases. It is a requirement that suppliers co-operate with reasonable requests to supply management information (including usage data) and participate in liaison meetings.

Decision Making

ECC reserves the option to award or not award any options at its sole discretion. Only one local bus option will be awarded in addition to service provision at each of the schools. For any option(s) awarded, the winning operator(s) will be chosen on the basis of price. Bids that do not comply with the specification are likely to be invalid. While there is no quality scoring, additional information will be required when bidding for certain options to demonstrate compliance with the specification. Bids missing this information are likely to be invalid.

The final choice of option(s) will be constrained by the available budget and the needs of the community. Announcement of provisional contract awards is expected by mid-April, subject to cabinet member approval.

A Will wait at Althorne Station up to 5 minutes to connect with late running trains Local Bus Option 4 Demand Responsive Transport for Dengie Peninsula

Tender No: DG010 Start Date: 26/08/2012

Requirements Operator to submit details of a proposed Monday-Saturday service, addressing the following needs: • A telephone booking line answered between 0600-2000 Monday-Saturday • Assistance with onward/connecting journey planning for passengers making bookings, to match DRT journeys to connecting journeys • Systems to record and co-ordinate bookings to maximise efficiency of vehicle utilisation and service provision to passengers, while minimising mileage operated. • Creation and administration of a passenger database to support the efficient provision of the service, provide management information (patronage, fares taken, vehicle movements), and detect service abuse (e.g. passengers not showing up for booked journeys). • Systems to keep booked passengers informed of disruption to their planned journey

Contract type Net cost (operator sets and keeps fares) bids only are permitted.

The operator will be required to investigate and adopt through ticketing arrangements for connecting services where viable following award of the contract, working in partnership with Essex County Council.

Example fare structures are included within the attachments. Operators will be required to charge child fares up to the age of 16.

Fares are to be capped at the Essex Saver rate of £8. Concessionary bus passes must also be accepted.

Responsibility for publicising the service (using media including but not necessarily limited to leaflets and a website) will be shared between ECC and the operator working in partnership with local representatives. Funding arrangements are to be negotiated post-award.

Service level Adapted to meet pre-booked requirements. The minimum pre-booking time for a journey will be 1h in advance, maximum of 28 days notice.

The service will be registered with the Traffic Commissioner as a fully flexible bus service.

Please note that students carried on the existing D3 service are not included in this requirement. These movements will be included in the accompanying school transport lots. Connections to schools have been retained for the potential benefit of students not entitled to school transport.

Geographical limits Journeys may ordinarily only start or finish in the DRT served area shown on the map. Journeys that can reasonably be completed by commercial bus service (31X and associated services) or train are prohibited. Journeys starting or finishing within a restricted area are permitted where the origin/destination within the restricted area cannot reasonably be reached by commercial bus service or train. An example of a permitted point would be ASDA in South Woodham Ferrers and Tesco in Maldon. The service may only carry passengers on the part of their journey within the DRT served area that is not possible by commercial bus service or train. For clarity, waiting for the next available 31X or train departure would not be considered unreasonable, i.e. the service may not be used for an extended trip to avoid a connection.

Operating hours First journeys from approx 0600, last journeys complete by 2000

Specific needs Access to the nearest railway station at morning/evening peak commuting times for all parishes in the Dengie Peninsula.

Vehicle capacity Adapted to meet pre-booked requirements on DRT service. The DRT service only is exempt from the local bus Schedule 4 (clauses 3.8.2 & 4.1) requirement for DDA compliant, low floor, wheelchair accessible buses. Any vehicle meeting the other criteria (including 5 & 10 year age limits depending on size of vehicle) and licenced appropriately for this type of service will be acceptable.

Vehicles with wheelchair access must be provided if requested at the time of booking. This may be by means of a lift or ramp.

Start Date: September 2012 Days of Operation: Mon,Tue,Wed,Thur,Fri, when open Seating Capacity: 495

Tender Information This contract is offered on a 1, 4 or 7 year term, this will be decided by PTCC upon receipt of the tenders. Reviews will be held half termly between PTCC, the School and the Operator to discuss the performance of the contract and whether it meets the needs of PTCC and the School.

You are expected to use the Pupil Data as well as the Pick-up and Drop-off Points information, when putting together your tender submission. This information is current information only and is subject to change as a result of school leavers and new Students joining the school before September 2012.

Co-ordination During the duration of the contract it is expected that the operator will ensure that the number of vehicles, mileage undertaken and the duration of the route is kept to a minimum. If this requires the operator to alter routes mid term or move students from travelling on one vehicle to another then this must take place before additional vehicles/routes are added to the contract. All changes must be communicated with ECC, and where a change affects the cost of the contract then this must be authorised by the appropriate officer at ECC. If upon investigation the routes are deemed to be not operating efficiently (in terms of routes & timetables) then the council may look to reclaim costs incurred.

Pick Up Points It is suggested that you use current pick up points where possible. If you do decide to alter the location of a pick up point to improve co-ordination then please highlight this at the time of your presentation. PLEASE NOTE: The maximum walking distance for a Student from home to the pick up point is 1 mile using an available route. The successful operator will be required to submit timetables for September 2012 no later than the 1st of June 2012 in order for Schools and Students to be made aware of the changes.

Walking Routes To Pick Up Points Where possible please take into account the availability of a walking route. ECC will declare whether a route is available or unavailable. You will be expected to highlight any possible areas of concern regarding the safety of walking routes at the time of your tender, you will therefore need to ensure that you have a number of solutions to cover this eventuality. The basic criteria for you to take into account are: is there a footpath/verge available to walk on, what is the speed limit, is there adequate visibility, is there street lighting? Please remember that the criteria for a student walking to a pick up point is always “accompanied as necessary by an adult.”

Travel Time The maximum journey time for a student going to this school is normally 1hr 15mins whilst on the vehicle. Where it is deemed reasonable, it is possible to allow the journey time to exceed this, however this must only be done with the authorisation of the PTCC. Vehicle Suitability It is your responsibility to ensure that your choice of vehicles are suitable to be used on the proposed roads, taking into account, weight restrictions, low bridges and narrow rural roads. Therefore, if the nature of the road or the location of the student requires a connecting vehicle then you will be required to provide this (subcontracting will be supported). CCTV & Student Behaviour In order to manage the behaviour of passengers travelling on these services the operator will be required to follow ECC student behaviour procedure, in order to highlight the importance of correct behaviours whilst travelling the operator may also be required to attend assemblies/promotions at the School. CCTV is a minimum requirement on all double deckers and must meet the minimum CCTV standards as detailed in the terms and conditions and accompanying documents. Prior to the start of the contract all drivers operating these routes will be required to attend a Driver Awareness Session (held at your depot, if appropriate, which will last approximately 1 hour).

Customer Service As per the terms and conditions, the operator will be responsible for issuing tickets to all passengers entitled to Home to School or Post 16 transport. It is also expected that up to date timetables are available upon request from ECC, the School and the passengers, this may be in the form of a webpage or detail over the phone, but it must be available at the time of request.

Essex County Council reserves the right to E-Auction this tender if it is felt to be of benefit to the Council in relation to obtaining Best Value.

Tender Round: 2012 Mainstream & SEN One School One Operator Tender Round 1 Contract Number: PM0005 Area Code: E17 Establishment Details: Establishment Name: Type of Establishment: Plume School Secondary School with Sixth Form Address: Opening Times: Monday 08:25 – 15:10 Plume School, Tuesday 08:25 – 15:10 Fambridge Road, Wednesday 08:25 – 15:10 MALDON, Thursday 08:25 – 15:10 CM9 6AB Friday 08:25 – 15:10

Start Date: September 2012 Days of Operation: Mon,Tue,Wed,Thur,Fri, when open Seating Capacity: 285

Tender Information This contract is offered on a 1, 4 or 7 year term, this will be decided by PTCC upon receipt of the tenders. Reviews will be held half termly between PTCC, the School and the Operator to discuss the performance of the contract and whether it meets the needs of PTCC and the School.

You are expected to use the Pupil Data as well as the Pick-up and Drop-off Points information, when putting together your tender submission. This information is current information only and is subject to change as a result of school leavers and new Students joining the school before September 2012.

Co-ordination During the duration of the contract it is expected that the operator will ensure that the number of vehicles, mileage undertaken and the duration of the route is kept to a minimum. If this requires the operator to alter routes mid term or move students from travelling on one vehicle to another then this must take place before additional vehicles/routes are added to the contract. All changes must be communicated with ECC, and where a change affects the cost of the contract then this must be authorised by the appropriate officer at ECC. If upon investigation the routes are deemed to be not operating efficiently (in terms of routes & timetables) then the council may look to reclaim costs incurred.

Pick Up Points It is suggested that you use current pick up points where possible. If you do decide to alter the location of a pick up point to improve co-ordination then please highlight this at the time of your presentation. PLEASE NOTE: The maximum walking distance for a Student from home to the pick up point is 1 mile using an available route. The successful operator will be required to submit timetables for September 2012 no later than the 1st of June 2012 in order for Schools and Students to be made aware of the changes.

Walking Routes To Pick Up Points Where possible please take into account the availability of a walking route. ECC will declare whether a route is available or unavailable. You will be expected to highlight any possible areas of concern regarding the safety of walking routes at the time of your tender, you will therefore need to ensure that you have a number of solutions to cover this eventuality. The basic criteria for you to take into account are: is there a footpath/verge available to walk on, what is the speed limit, is there adequate visibility, is there street lighting? Please remember that the criteria for a student walking to a pick up point is always “accompanied as necessary by an adult.”

Travel Time The maximum journey time for a student going to this school is normally 1hr 15mins whilst on the vehicle. Where it is deemed reasonable, it is possible to allow the journey time to exceed this, however this must only be done with the authorisation of the PTCC. Vehicle Suitability It is your responsibility to ensure that your choice of vehicles are suitable to be used on the proposed roads, taking into account, weight restrictions, low bridges and narrow rural roads. Therefore, if the nature of the road or the location of the student requires a connecting vehicle then you will be required to provide this (subcontracting will be supported). CCTV & Student Behaviour In order to manage the behaviour of passengers travelling on these services the operator will be required to follow ECC student behaviour procedure, in order to highlight the importance of correct behaviours whilst travelling the operator may also be required to attend assemblies/promotions at the School. CCTV is a minimum requirement on all double deckers and must meet the minimum CCTV standards as detailed in the terms and conditions and accompanying documents. Prior to the start of the contract all drivers operating these routes will be required to attend a Driver Awareness Session (held at your depot, if appropriate, which will last approximately 1 hour).

Customer Service As per the terms and conditions, the operator will be responsible for issuing tickets to all passengers entitled to Home to School or Post 16 transport. It is also expected that up to date timetables are available upon request from ECC, the School and the passengers, this may be in the form of a webpage or detail over the phone, but it must be available at the time of request.

Essex County Council reserves the right to E-Auction this tender if it is felt to be of benefit to the Council in relation to obtaining Best Value.

Start Date: September 2012 Days of Operation: Mon,Tue,Wed,Thur,Fri, when open Seating Capacity: 230

Tender Information This contract is offered on a 1, 4 or 7 year term, this will be decided by PTCC upon receipt of the tenders. Reviews will be held half termly between PTCC, the School and the Operator to discuss the performance of the contract and whether it meets the needs of PTCC and the School.

You are expected to use the Pupil Data as well as the Pick-up and Drop-off Points information, when putting together your tender submission. This information is current information only and is subject to change as a result of school leavers and new Students joining the school before September 2012.

Co-ordination During the duration of the contract it is expected that the operator will ensure that the number of vehicles, mileage undertaken and the duration of the route is kept to a minimum. If this requires the operator to alter routes mid term or move students from travelling on one vehicle to another then this must take place before additional vehicles/routes are added to the contract. All changes must be communicated with ECC, and where a change affects the cost of the contract then this must be authorised by the appropriate officer at ECC. If upon investigation the routes are deemed to be not operating efficiently (in terms of routes & timetables) then the council may look to reclaim costs incurred.

Pick Up Points It is suggested that you use current pick up points where possible. If you do decide to alter the location of a pick up point to improve co-ordination then please highlight this at the time of your presentation. PLEASE NOTE: The maximum walking distance for a Student from home to the pick up point is 1 mile using an available route. The successful operator will be required to submit timetables for September 2012 no later than the 1st of June 2012 in order for Schools and Students to be made aware of the changes.

Walking Routes To Pick Up Points Where possible please take into account the availability of a walking route. ECC will declare whether a route is available or unavailable. You will be expected to highlight any possible areas of concern regarding the safety of walking routes at the time of your tender, you will therefore need to ensure that you have a number of solutions to cover this eventuality. The basic criteria for you to take into account are: is there a footpath/verge available to walk on, what is the speed limit, is there adequate visibility, is there street lighting? Please remember that the criteria for a student walking to a pick up point is always “accompanied as necessary by an adult.”

Travel Time The maximum journey time for a student going to this school is normally 1hr 15mins whilst on the vehicle. Where it is deemed reasonable, it is possible to allow the journey time to exceed this, however this must only be done with the authorisation of the PTCC. Vehicle Suitability It is your responsibility to ensure that your choice of vehicles are suitable to be used on the proposed roads, taking into account, weight restrictions, low bridges and narrow rural roads. Therefore, if the nature of the road or the location of the student requires a connecting vehicle then you will be required to provide this (subcontracting will be supported). CCTV & Student Behaviour In order to manage the behaviour of passengers travelling on these services the operator will be required to follow ECC student behaviour procedure, in order to highlight the importance of correct behaviours whilst travelling the operator may also be required to attend assemblies/promotions at the School. CCTV is a minimum requirement on all double deckers and must meet the minimum CCTV standards as detailed in the terms and conditions and accompanying documents. Prior to the start of the contract all drivers operating these routes will be required to attend a Driver Awareness Session (held at your depot, if appropriate, which will last approximately 1 hour).

Customer Service As per the terms and conditions, the operator will be responsible for issuing tickets to all passengers entitled to Home to School or Post 16 transport. It is also expected that up to date timetables are available upon request from ECC, the School and the passengers, this may be in the form of a webpage or detail over the phone, but it must be available at the time of request.

Essex County Council reserves the right to E-Auction this tender if it is felt to be of benefit to the Council in relation to obtaining Best Value.

Additional Information

Usage Information

Usage information for the various existing local bus services is contained in the relevant attachment within the tender. This is based on August-November 2011. This is attached to help inform suppliers about potential usage on any proposed new services. This consists of ‘journeys’ and ‘stages’ files. The ‘stages’ files contain information on average numbers boarding the existing service per day together with matrices of journeys undertaken. Due technical limitations and the nature of recording of concessionary passes and day/season tickets, information about end-to-end journeys should be treated with extreme caution. Average numbers boarding at each point are usually significantly more accurate.

The ‘journeys’ files list total numbers carried by journey for each day in the period, to illustrate the extremes. Note carefully information in the specification concerning school journey loadings that are being transferred to the education tender. These will reduce the usage on certain local bus journeys considerably unless a supplier places a combined bid proposing to carry these passengers on a local bus/DRT.

Where a “?” is shown for the direction of a journey there has been a data error and it may not be possible to place the usage against a particular journey. Caution: the usage data is supplied in good faith but is provided ‘as-is’ with no guarantee of complete accuracy. Suppliers should satisfy themselves as to the viability of their bid before confirming it.
