Part of this, the MOAT requirement, is for one supplier or a small number of suppliers capable of operating in London to provide driver and vehicle services, with their own scheduling system as an option, for multi occupancy accessible trips across all 33 London Boroughs. This is fully funded by TfL and will deliver direct to London Dial a Ride's passengers, who because of their disabilities, are unable to use TfL's standard bus and train services offering. Potential suppliers may include but are not limited to: national or local Community Transport Organizations, Demand Responsive Bus Companies and Commercial Bus Operators. TfL has a scheduling system and we are happy to explore use of this with bidders. The services are required to commence from 1 October 2023 which is when the current contracts will have expired.
