Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council has completed the procurement process for a Park and Ride Bus Service Concession Contract in Norwich. This tender, categorized under 'Public road transport services' (CPV: 60112000), aimed at operating limited-stop bus services from four Norwich Park & Ride sites: Thickthorn, Harford, Airport, and Postwick, with no subsidy from the council. The contract, which was estimated to be worth £1.6 million, was awarded on 1st October 2024. The procurement method followed an award procedure with prior publication of a call for competition, and the relevant dates included a submission deadline of 1st August 2024, later amended to 14th August 2024.

This procurement contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transportation industry, specifically those specializing in bus and public transport services. It is particularly beneficial for companies capable of managing operational aspects without public subsidies and focusing on growing passenger numbers and revenue. Large enterprises like First Eastern Counties Buses Limited and SMEs such as Simonds of Botesdale Limited were among the successful bidders, indicating that both large and smaller businesses have a competitive chance in such tenders. The absence of council subsidies and the long-term potential (with a contract period extendable by 36 months) provide a lucrative incentive for businesses looking to secure stable and potentially profitable operations in the public transport sector.
