Summary of the contracting process

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 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. Companies that would be well-suited to compete include those operating as large transport providers or voluntary and community service organisations (VCSOs), particularly those that can cater to specific local transport demands. 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.
