Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of up to nine coach-built welfare buses, as detailed in the tender titled "GB-St Helens: TPPL St Helens Council BNES Bus Lot 3 - Up to 9 x Coach Built Welfare Buses (27132)." This procurement falls under the industry category of buses and coaches within the region of North West, United Kingdom. The process, initiated through a tendering method not specified in the document, progressed to the award stage with an initial amendment announced on 27 October 2025 to account for additional add-ons, leading to a total project value of £647,220. The contract commenced on 26 September 2025 and concluded on 26 October 2025.

This procurement offers considerable business opportunities for companies involved in manufacturing or supplying commercial vehicles, particularly those specialising in welfare buses. Despite the contract's award, it underscores potential openings for subcontractors or suppliers to engage with large-scale contractors like Treka Bus Limited, especially for SMEs that cater to specific components or services within the production of welfare buses. Businesses providing specialised bus fittings or those experienced in collaborating with local councils on transportation projects would find this kind of tender particularly beneficial for growth and expanding their portfolio of public sector engagements.
