Summary of the contracting process

The Tees Valley Combined Authority is planning a procurement process titled "RFI - ZEBRA Zebra Zero Emission Buses Regional Area (Fuel Providers)" within the transport services industry. This open procurement method, set to commence on 4th October 2021, seeks to engage suppliers for a potential hydrogen bus pilot project in Tees Valley. This initiative aims to replace diesel buses with hydrogen alternatives and will require a comprehensive business case to be developed for submission to the Department for Transport. Interested parties have the opportunity to register and access RFI documentation through the Pro Contract portal, with a contract duration of 1800 days anticipated.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of fuel, specifically those with expertise in hydrogen energy solutions and infrastructure development. Companies specialising in clean fuel technology, sustainable transport, and bus servicing will find the RFI particularly relevant as the Tees Valley Combined Authority aims to transition to greener transport solutions. Engaging with this early-stage procurement process may lead to strategic partnerships and long-term contracts within the rapidly evolving market for low-emission public transport services.
