Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council has undertaken the procurement process for the enhancement of local bus services on Routes 6 and 12, aimed at providing additional winter funding and extending the evening service. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Hire of buses and coaches with driver" (CPV code 60172000) and is classified as a services contract. The contract, valued at £290,000 excluding VAT, is set to enhance services from October 2023 to March 2024, with the potential extension from June 2024 to Autumn 2025. The procurement method utilised was negotiated without publication of a contract notice, reflecting the exclusive capability of Southern Vectis/Go South Coast Ltd, the only commercial bus operator on the Isle of Wight, to fulfil the service requirements due to the absence of competition for technical reasons.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the transportation and public service sectors. Firms specialising in bus hire, fleet management, and route optimisation would find this project particularly beneficial, given the integration of additional journeys and extended service hours. The extension option also provides a longer-term engagement potential for businesses capable of scaling operations to meet the extended service period. Companies with experience in public sector transportation contracts or those aiming to establish a presence in the Isle of Wight's transport infrastructure would be well-suited to compete and potentially collaborate on similar future opportunities with the Isle of Wight Council.
