Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council procured bus transport services for six public transport routes within the East Riding of Yorkshire boundary. The requirement covered road passenger transport, including the provision of buses and coaches with drivers. It falls within the wider category of transport services (CPV 60000000). The council was the buying organisation. Delivery was required across East Riding of Yorkshire, serving routes within the council’s administrative boundary. The procurement was intended to secure operational bus services rather than vehicles alone, so relevant suppliers are operators with access to suitable buses, qualified drivers and the local service capacity needed to run multiple public transport routes reliably.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 June 2026. It was a selective competition using a restricted procedure under Lot 1 of the 2368 Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender deadline was 11 May 2026 at 12:00. Four suppliers were awarded the contract: Beverley Community Lift, Goole & District Community Transport Group, North Holderness Community Transport Ltd and Sweyne Coaches Ltd. The awarded value is £2,322,833 excluding any stated tax treatment. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand from East Riding of Yorkshire Council for contracted bus operations across several local routes. The successful supplier group shows that credible providers may include community transport organisations as well as conventional coach operators. A future competitor would need practical experience of delivering scheduled passenger transport, suitable buses and coaches, appropriately capable drivers, and the operational capacity to cover routes within East Riding of Yorkshire. Local knowledge, dependable scheduling, vehicle availability, driver management and the ability to coordinate delivery across multiple routes would strengthen a supplier’s position. The procurement’s suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist operators can be relevant where they can demonstrate reliable service delivery.
