Summary of the contracting process

NCG Corporation procured student transport services, covering organised coach trips to places of interest and educational visits. The requirement is transport for students in educational settings, rather than general passenger transport. The resulting arrangement is intended for use by CPC member and future-member further education institutions, universities, sixth forms, academies, schools, museums and similar organisations; local authorities may also use it when procuring transport for educational establishments. The recorded delivery locations include the United Kingdom and destinations elsewhere in Europe and beyond, as well as Newcastle upon Tyne. This is a service procurement in the transport sector (CPV 60000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to STANLEY TRAVEL (NORTH EAST) LIMITED. The award was made on 23 October 2026, with an awarded value of £140,000. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2030. The buyer used an open procedure to establish a student transport services dynamic purchasing system. The stated tender value was also £140,000. The service category was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the published process details. The arrangement is intended to serve the educational organisations described in the procurement scope, with local authorities also able to use it for educational establishments.

This award shows demand from NCG Corporation for organised coach transport supporting student education visits and trips to places of interest, with use extending across educational institutions and museums and potentially local-authority purchasing on their behalf. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver organised coach journeys for students and meet the practical needs of schools, colleges, universities and other educational settings. The recorded supplier is a North East travel company, while the stated delivery coverage extends across the UK and international destinations; suppliers should therefore be able to support journeys across a broad geography. The procurement used an open route and was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller transport businesses may be positioned to compete if they can provide the required service at the scale and reach sought.
