• Single
• One contract for borough
• Residents assurance that if one vehicle is not
  available next nearest belongs to same operator
• Need to ensure suitable performance criteria and
  contract arrangements
• Enables single partnership marketing

• Multiple
• Multiple contracts for borough
• Residents have choice of operator and fleet
• Ensures competition and comparison of performance
  
• Generic marketing necessary
