(03 Aug 2021, 8:48 am)GuyParkRoyal Price is not the only thing taken into account according to the invitation to tender. An extract from the notice issued by Nexus is shown below.

II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The procurement of the operation of 'Registered Local Bus services' in the local authority areas of Tyne and Wear with effect from 05/09/2021. It is anticipated that subsequent contracts will be for a term of up to 9 months, with an option of extending each contract for up to 12 months should this be necessary. The contracts will be tendered on the basis of operating specified timetables. The vehicles required will be low floor, easy access, meeting a minimum of Euro 5 engine emission standards and meeting the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Acts with a minimum capacity of 23 or 36 passengers depending on the route involved.
II.2.5) Award criteria
Price is not the only award criterion and all criteria are stated only in the procurement documents.

Price is not the only criteria but it's the one we weight 99% of the decision against is what they mean.

Wistfully stuck in the 90s

The only way GNE to take back off them will be dig deep in the shareholders pockets while there are on there luxury yachts smoking Cuban cigars and fork out to run them commercially

Whey no, they can't be in two places at once.
They're too busy to be asking shareholders for money. It's a better use of their time posing for photos at County Hall and running about with their begging bowl once the press pack have gone.

If you look very closely at the photo outside County Hall, you may just see a pile of begging bowls in the luggage rack.

I noticed that the begging bowls were branded as well with shareholders bank account details on and you get a free day ticket only between Gateshead interchange and Newcastle city centre for Xmas day only

Looks like they're going to have to start actually running services then, if everything is tracked then Nexus can see exactly what they're doing!

Apparently according to a friend who sent in a complaint to Nexus about GCT early running, Nexus already had the ability to track them (apparently). Just that for some reason the info wasn't made public.

The new tracking system is useful - waiting for the 41 in Wallsend and just realised it's already been... 7 minutes early.

Makes me wonder if all of the times I've thought the service hasn't turned up is actually because they're so early.

Isn't it a good thing that you can now track that? Screen grab it and send it in to Nexus, as that is shocking.

Try customerservices@nexus.org.uk

They seem to have removed the options to contact online or via email from their website, sticking to telephone and post. I mean this is clearly the kind of forward thinking we're going to need for an enhanced partnership...  Rolleyes
