Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Northamptonshire County Council, which is seeking tenders for the "Northamptonshire County Council Local Bus Services Framework." This initiative falls under the transport services industry category and is located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The open procurement method invites participation, with the tender period ending on 29 May 2019. The available contracts are expected to have a total value of £6 million, funded mainly through Section 106 agreements associated with local developments, with potential additional spending for specific journeys by local councils. The contract period will commence on 17 June 2019 and run until 16 June 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in transport services, particularly for those capable of providing local bus services that complement existing commercial networks.

With a potential annual spend of £1.2 million from developer funding and an additional £150,000 from collaborations with district councils, this framework can be an excellent avenue for growth and expansion in the transport sector.
