The procurement, conducted through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), culminated in the award of contracts for quarter three, covering the period from July 2024 to September 2024. The contract, titled "LPS CORP - Provision of Local Bus Services and School Bus Services in Lancashire - RFQ 15247300", involves services in the 'Buses and coaches' and 'Transport services (excl. Waste transport)' categories. The contract period commences on 1 January 2025 and concludes on 31 March 2030, with services spanning the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement reached the award stage, with the related contract awards published on 16 January 2025.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in transport services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to benefit from the DPS, creating an inclusive environment for varied suppliers. The nature of the services required—transportation of school and local bus services—necessitates a robust operational capacity, making it ideal for transport service providers aiming to expand their client base and establish long-term contracts with a reputable public authority like Lancashire County Council. Business entities that can meet these requirements and deliver reliable services have the potential to secure consistent revenue over the contract’s five-year term.
