Summary of the contracting process

The UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA has completed the procurement process for the "UEA Summer Graduation 2022," which involved providing a bus service from the Costessey park and ride site to the UEA Sportspark building. This service was expected to accommodate approximately 6,000 visitors daily, operational from 7:15 am to 9:30 pm, with bus frequencies of 4 to 8 minutes. The procurement, classified under the industry category of buses and coaches, was undertaken through a direct method as a single tender action, concluding on 30 May 2022, with the contract period running from 14 July to 26 July 2022. The total contract value was £41,346.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for transport service providers, especially those offering bus and coach services. Businesses with the capability to deliver a high-frequency transport solution would be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders, particularly as universities and large events often require reliable transport to manage high visitor volumes. As small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, this could be an excellent chance for them to showcase their service capabilities in a high-profile setting.
