Dear Open University,
I would like to request the following information please. Where possible, could this be provided in a spreadsheet:
Do you have an existing transport service for students? If yes:
When is the contract due for renewal?
Which companies provide your transport services?
What is your annual budget for student transport?
Do you charge students to use the transport service? If so, how much and what type of tickets do you provide (daily, termly, annual)?
How many students use the transport per day?
What is your occupancy rate?
How many parking spaces available vs. demand for spaces?
How much do you charge for parking, and how much money is generated per year?
Please explain how you procure student transport services.
Please identify any frameworks and or buying groups that your organisation is a part of.
What job role is responsible for managing the transport budget?
How many staff members are in the transport team?
Yours faithfully,
