Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council procured passenger transport services for home-to-school and social care journeys. The requirement covers transport to and from mainstream and special educational needs establishments, children’s social care service users and adult social care service users. Services are primarily for the participating authorities, with access also available to other local authorities and public bodies in Cambridgeshire. Delivery is across the East of England, in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as transport services excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000) and falls within the services category. It was arranged through a dynamic purchasing system intended to support individual transport call-offs for the stated client groups.

The process is complete and was awarded through an open procedure above the applicable threshold. The tender closed on 31 March 2022 at 12:00. The overall estimated value was between £280,000,000 and £300,000,000. Nationwide Coaches was awarded the contract on 30 June 2026 for £300,000,000. The awarded contract period runs from 1 June 2023 to 23 February 2029. This is a recorded call-off award under the home-to-school and social care transport dynamic purchasing system. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the open-procedure route.

This award shows sustained public-sector demand for passenger transport serving education and social care users in the East of England. A credible future competitor would need to organise reliable home-to-school journeys and social care transport for mainstream and special educational needs settings, children’s services and adult social care. Relevant operators are likely to include local and regional coach, minibus and passenger transport businesses able to manage varied client groups and recurring individual call-offs. The award also indicates that a small or medium-sized enterprise can operate in this market, and that voluntary, community and social enterprises are considered suitable. Suppliers should understand the operational demands of serving public authorities and multiple authorities or public bodies within Cambridgeshire.
