Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Leeds is planning a tender for Coach Hire and Mini Bus Hire Services, which is expected to commence on 1st August 2017 and run until 31st July 2020. The total contract value is estimated at £1,500,000, with a minimum value of £1,000,000. This procurement is classified under the UK industry category for 'Hire of buses and coaches with driver' (CPV code 60172000). Potential suppliers are encouraged to express their interest in this framework agreement, which aims to establish a local network of approved suppliers to ensure high-quality transport services for students and faculty across the Yorkshire and the Humber region, with occasional international trips. The contract will be awarded following the submission of tenders after the future notice date, which is provided as 3rd April 2017.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the transport and logistics sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that offer coach and minibus hire services with drivers. Given the variability in booking patterns, peaking during the start of academic terms, service providers capable of demonstrating flexibility and reliability could thrive in this competitive landscape. With the existing framework set to expire, new suppliers with innovative solutions for transport needs are well-positioned to enter this market, catering to the University’s essential travel requirements while expanding their business horizons.
