A membership/registration letter for UPMD 22022-2023 school transport service was sent to you a few days ago via LFI Duras.
For your information, we would like to share with you the details of the finalization of the tender.
October – December 2022: Drafting of the tender specifications
16 January 2023: Sending the tender documents for transport 23-26 to 5 transport companies:
- M&H/SBS
- Green Leaf Vietnam
- Red River
- MH Corp
- Logitem Vietnam
28 February 2023: Deadline for submission of bidding documents
- MNH/SBS: has sent its bidding documents
- MH Corp: has not sent the bidding documents, despite 2 reminders
- Green Leaf Vietnam: did not send tender documents, despite 2 reminders
- Red river: refused to participate in the tender
- Logitem Vietnam: refused to participate in the tender
It should be noted that after having been received in a meeting by the UPMD transport commission on the LFI Duras site and after having confirmed its participation in the call for tenders, the company Green Leaf Vietnam finally announced, on the very day of the deadline, its wish not to participate.
SBS remains the only company to have sent in its file, with a tariff proposal of 19 M vnd/year for 2023-2024: proposal negotiated at 18.5 M vnd for 23-24 by the UPMD transport commission, which represents an increase of about 10% compared to the 2022-23 tariff.
This increase is justified by:
- Increase in petrol
- Increase in the minimum wage for employees
- Renewal of part of the bus fleet
- Direct employment of drivers (new employees).
On 28 March 2023, the UPMD Board voted FOR the award of the contract to SBS and the negotiated fare for 23-24.
As announced in the previous letter, we would like to inform you that the UPMD 2023-2024 campaign to join/enroll in the SBS school transport service will start on
07 April 2023 and will end on 30 June 2023
