Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is seeking tenders for the provision of Local Bus Services from 2022 to 2024, with an estimated value of £7.5 million. This open procurement, classified under road transport services (CPV code 60100000), is currently in the Tender stage, with bids due by 3rd May 2022. The anticipated start date for the contract is 1st August 2022, running for two years, with an option to extend for an additional year. Interested parties may bid for one or more of the 16 Lots, although a single provider can be awarded a maximum of 11 Lots, ensuring competitive opportunities for various service providers in the sector.

This tender presents considerable business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in public transport, including bus operators and service managers familiar with local travel patterns. Given the project's focus on a minimum cost basis due to the uncertain patronage levels caused by the pandemic, businesses capable of adapting to new operational realities and demonstrating reliability in service delivery will be well-positioned to compete effectively. With an open contracting method being utilised, this is an ideal chance for both established operators and emerging firms in the transport sector to expand their market presence in Leicestershire.
