Description

North East Lincolnshire Council is seeking tenders from suitably qualified operators of public bus services to award a contract for the Europarc 1, 2 and 20 bus service, which runs between Cleethorpes, Grimsby and Europarc Business Park and the 5m bus service and the 5M service which runs from Immingham to Stallingborough. Europarc is located on the western edge of the Grimsby urban area approximately 4km from Grimsby Town Centre. It was created in 1997 as a major high quality business park of regional significance. It has developed incrementally and successfully since that time. However, due to its out of town location, residents without private transport are reliant on the current bus service to access employment at the location. The 5M bus service currently operates from Immingham County Hotel, to CATCH and Millennium Organic Chemicals and allows local people to access work, training and education
