Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract titled "Bus & LR Support II Direct Award" has been completed by the Department for Transport (DfTc), headquartered in London, England. This contract falls under the services category, specifically within the research and experimental development services industry, classified under CPV code 73100000. The procurement method was selective, executed as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 22nd May 2025, with the contract period running from 23rd May 2025 to 31st July 2025. This procurement involves services to be delivered across multiple locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom, with the contract reflecting a total value of 47,625 GBP.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for large-scale enterprises experienced in research and development services. Although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may not be particularly targeted for this contract, businesses with a strong track record in fulfilling framework agreements in diverse geographical regions could leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolio and establish new connections within the governmental sector. The involvement of a prominent supplier like Grant Thornton, which is known for its large-scale operations, indicates that well-established firms with similar capacities are well-suited to compete in such procurement processes.
