Summary of the contracting process

The Tees Valley Combined Authority is currently initiating a procurement process titled "RFI - ZEBRA Zebra Zero Emission Buses Regional Area (Fuel Providers)," which aims to gather early engagement for the development of a business case advocating for a hydrogen bus pilot in Tees Valley. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 15th October 2021.

This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise.

The ambition for the project is to replace the equivalent number of the Tees Valley diesel bus fleet with hydrogen buses and invest in hydrogen refuelling infrastructure in Tees Valley.
