The tender process concluded with an award status on 5th May 2026, with contract execution starting on 7th May 2026 and potentially extending until 1st May 2032.

This tender provides an opportunity for transport providers specialising in service delivery to public organisations to expand their operations. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and community interest companies may find it especially attractive due to the repeated demand for such services in local government sectors. Businesses that excel in providing reliable, customer-oriented transport solutions and can manage long-term contracts are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. With a contract value of GBP 21,145.28 awarded to Hawk Express Cabs Ltd, there is a clear market for similar service providers looking to penetrate the public transport service domain.
