Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridgeshire County Council, represented by LGSS, is planning to directly award a contract for the early adoption of low emission buses. This procurement is classified under the category of transportation services, specifically for buses and electric buses, with the intended award taking place following a soft market testing phase conducted in late 2018. Interested providers are encouraged to engage with the authority by the deadline of 5pm on 1st February 2019 if they wish to be considered for the formal tender process, after which a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency notice will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electric and low emission transport solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that can demonstrate capability in providing these services would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this tender could lead to potential partnerships and contract awards that support the growing demand for environmentally sustainable transport solutions in the East of England.

Notice Title

Cambridgeshire County Council Early Adoption of Low Emission Buses - INTENTION TO DIRECTLY AWARD CONTRACT

Notice Description

Following the soft market testing conducted on Contracts Finder between 22nd November 2018 and 4th January 2019 for Cambridgeshire County Council Early Adoption of Low Emission Buses (the original notice can be seen at https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fb8b35e0-7d8c-4ca4-bee7-cde4d0611338 ) the Authority believes that there is only one provider able to satisfy this requirement, due to only one relevant response received confirming interest in this opportunity. It is therefore the Authority's plan to publish a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency (VEAT) notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) and directly award a contract to this provider. Before this step is taken the Authority is issuing this final communication to ascertain if any providers feel they are able to satisfy this requirement and would wish to be involved in a formal tender process. If any organisation feels that they would wish to be involved in such a process then they are requested to make contact without delay with Jon Collyns - Senior Procurement Category Manager at Jon.collyns@cambridgeshire.gov.uk by 5pm on Friday 1st February 2019. If no such communication is received by this time then the Authority are likely to issue a VEAT as above.
