What buyers often ask for

In Great Britain, operating goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes needs an operator's licence from the Traffic Commissioner, and carrying passengers for hire in vehicles with nine or more passenger seats usually needs a PSV operator's licence; Northern Ireland licenses operators through the Department for Infrastructure. Taxis and private hire vehicles are licensed by the local council, or by Transport for London in London. School transport usually needs DBS-checked drivers and escorts. Requirements vary from contract to contract: the tender documents are the final word.
