Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough College has completed the procurement process for network transport services aimed at facilitating student travel within specific locations, including Middlesbrough, Stockton, Redcar and Cleveland, Darlington, and Hartlepool. The contract, titled "Middlesborough College - Network Transport for Students," falls under the services category and was formally signed on 23rd July 2024. The procurement utilised a limited method, justified by the limited number of operators able to meet the college's geographical coverage and regular service requirements. The awarded contracts total £5,908,800.95 and cover two main routes, with ARRIVA TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS LIMITED and Stagecoach Transit Group as the suppliers.

This procurement process presents considerable growth opportunities for transport service providers by engaging with educational institutions. Businesses that operate within public transport services, particularly those that can offer comprehensive geographical coverage and frequency, stand to benefit the most. Additionally, companies in the transport sector that focus on quality of service and competitive pricing can position themselves excellently for such opportunities, given the evaluation criteria of 80% quality and 20% cost.
