CPCA Bus Service Tendering – Demand Responsive Transport (Tiger on Demand)

Description

The DRT scheme (Tiger on Demand) is a flexible service that provides shared transport to users who specify their desired location and time of pick-up and drop-off using an app or call centre. It will offer travel to any location within each individual zone and interchange with fixed route public transport services at specific points. The service will connect residents who have little or no access to regular and scheduled bus services to work, leisure, education and social wellbeing opportunities. The Contractor is required to supply the required vehicle(s), drivers, supervisory staff, maintenance staff and cleaning staff, plus technology to enable integration with the back-office elements of the DRT scheme. The number of vehicles for each zone is as follows: East Cambridgeshire – 2 x 22 seat vehicles. Fenland – 1 x 16 seat vehicle. South Cambridgeshire – 2 x 16 seat vehicles. Huntingdonshire – 3 x 22 seat vehicles. The service will operate Monday to Saturday between 06:30 and 19:00. No service on Sunday
