The services are:
Provision of driver plus vehicle for an 8 hour shift, on a range of shifts including early and late
on Monday to Sunday. The contracts for these services will be for 5 years with a TfL option to extend to 7 years.
Ad hoc provision of additional driver and vehicle to respond flexibly to variations in DaR's

providing notice in accordance with the contract.
