Description

The aim of the procurement is to cover the need for transport of asylum seekers when needed and appropriate to use large buses. In order for the contract to be used in many cases/scenarios, it is not limited geographically or up to reception types. The agreement is, thus, nationwide. It will have its main catchment area to/from the National Arrival Centre (NAS) in Råde, but it shall also be used to and between destinations further away. There is a large variation in the asylum arrivals and this affects the need for accommodation capacity, number of asylum reception centres and also transport needs. UDI regularly needs to move larger groups of asylum seekers to the same destination or destinations that can constitute a "route" with several stops. In periods there can be a great need for large buses. In periods with low arrival numbers, however, there will be a limited need for this type of transport assignment. The agreement shall cover both a normal situation and take care of a stand-by function.
