    Brief

    This framework agreement opportunity invites qualified suppliers to provide coach hire services with experienced drivers. The framework will enable organizations to access reliable transportation services for passenger groups through an established supplier agreement. Potential suppliers should be able to offer well-maintained coaches, professional drivers, and flexible scheduling for various event types and group sizes. This is a framework agreement, meaning it establishes terms and conditions for future service requests rather than guaranteeing specific volumes.
