Emergency Replacement Bus Service Framework for Gourock-Dunoon Ferry Routes

CalMac Ferries Ltd seeks qualified service providers to establish a Framework Agreement for emergency replacement bus services on the Gourock-Dunoon routes. This framework will be activated only when complete ferry service interruptions occur with no vessels operating. The service provides continuity of passenger transport during disruptions and gives CalMac a compliant, pre-arranged mechanism for rapid deployment. The preferred bus capacity is approximately 70 passengers, though this is flexible. Suppliers should be prepared to mobilize quickly and meet Transport Scotland compliance requirements. This is an opportunity to become an approved provider for emergency transportation services that maintains critical passenger connectivity during ferry operational disruptions.
