What the buyer actually scores
Weightings observed on this type of contract.
Transport resources and fleet sizing
25 a 40 %Assigned vehicles with registration, capacity, age and emission standard. A fleet described by category without identified vehicles scores badly.
Punctuality and service continuity
20 a 35 %Continuity plan for breakdown or driver absence, reserve vehicles, time to deploy a substitute solution.
Passenger safety and driver training
15 a 25 %On school or vulnerable passenger transport this becomes the leading criterion: continuous training, background checks, escort protocol.
Mistakes that get a bid rejected
Specific to this sector, not generic advice.
- Offering a fleet whose average age exceeds the specification. The check is immediate from the attached registration documents.
- Not quantifying the time to provide a replacement vehicle. Without an hourly commitment, service continuity earns no credit.
- Omitting accessibility for reduced-mobility passengers when the contract provides for it, even as an option. A frequent rejection cause.
Required documents and qualifications
To gather before you start writing.
- Licence de transport : Community or national transport licence depending on the contract. A blocking document at application stage.
- Attestation de capacite professionnelle : Of the transport manager designated within the company.
- Controles techniques a jour : For each vehicle assigned to the contract. Often spot-checked at award.
