Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the "W326 KB1 Kings Barton to Winchester Bus Service." This falls under the industry category of public road transport services and covers the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was in the Award stage as of 15 October 2024, with the contract officially awarded on 4 October 2024. The service is set to commence on 7 October 2024 and will run until 6 October 2026. Involving a negotiated procedure without prior publication, the contract is valued at £240,000, funded entirely through developer contributions arising from the Kings Barton development.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), especially those specialising in passenger transport services. The direct award of the contract to Communities First Wessex demonstrates potential for similar organisations to secure valuable contracts through dedicated routes. This route-oriented service provides a stable investment over a two-year period, allowing businesses to establish themselves in the public transport sector and potentially prepare for re-tendering opportunities post-2026, fostering long-term growth and sustainability.
