Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Milton Keynes City Council involves the supply and installation of bus shelters at Station Square, aiming to enhance accessibility and safety for passengers at Milton Keynes Central Rail Station. This tender, falling under the "Bus shelters" industry category, has culminated in the award stage as of 10th March 2026. The contract, valued at £197,400, was awarded to Bus Shelters Limited and is set within a selective procurement method using a restricted procedure. The structural upgrades will commence on 25th January 2026 and conclude on 26th October 2026. The project's geographical scope involves multiple delivery locations, including the United Kingdom, and involves substantial infrastructure goods mainly classified under CPV code 44212321.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transport infrastructure and accessibility solutions, particularly those with expertise in the manufacture and installation of transport-related structures. Although not specifically suited for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) or Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), companies with a strong portfolio in public transport infrastructure projects and a presence within or operating in the United Kingdom stand to benefit. With the contract now awarded, continued engagement with local authorities like Milton Keynes City Council could foster future opportunities in similar upgrades across other regions.
