Summary of the contracting process

The West Lothian Council has awarded contracts for local bus services for a 12-month period to allow the market to recover before longer-term contracts are tendered. The tender process was initiated using an open procedure due to late information on additional government support for the industry amid the pandemic. Contracts have been awarded for various local bus routes, with the most recent one signed on 22nd February 2022 to E & M Horsburgh Ltd for the route LBS7.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the public road transport services sector to compete for contracts to provide local bus services within the specified regions. Small and medium-sized enterprises, such as E & M Horsburgh Ltd and sd travel, have already been successful in securing contracts through this process. Businesses specialising in public transport services should closely monitor upcoming tender opportunities from the West Lothian Council to potentially expand their operations and contribute to the provision of essential public transport services in the region.
