Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council has completed the procurement process for Non-Commercial Bus Services to maintain and enhance the current bus network in line with the Council’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP). The services fall under the Road transport services category (CPV code 60100000) and will operate in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This open procedure procurement, valued at £2,000,000, was awarded on 18th February 2024, with a contract period starting from 1st April 2024 and ending on 31st March 2032. The tender sought proposals to introduce service improvements with modern, low or zero-emission vehicles operating at increased frequencies, including early mornings, late evenings, and weekends.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those specialising in bus operations and sustainable transport solutions. It is well-suited to both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger companies, as evidenced by the awards to d j watts coach travel ltd (an SME) for multiple routes and Stagecoach Devon Ltd (a large company) for other routes. Businesses with capabilities in providing modern, eco-friendly transport services could benefit from engaging in this long-term contract, contributing to improved public transport accessibility and sustainability in the region.
