Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council has awarded a contract to Go South Coast Ltd for Local Bus Service Enhancements on Route 5. This service, classified under the industry category "Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver," aims to increase the frequency of buses from 3 to 4 per hour, operating on Mondays to Saturdays, from May 2024 until the timetable changes in spring 2026. The procurement process, classified as a limited negotiation without a contract notice, invoked technical reasons due to the absence of competition, given that Southern Vectis/Go South Coast Ltd is the sole commercial operator on the Isle of Wight. The contract was signed on 1 March 2024, with an estimated value of £290,050, and the 10-day standstill period ends on 27 August 2024.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in transportation services, particularly those capable of providing enhanced public transport solutions. Although the contract was not open to new bidders due to technical constraints, this demonstrates a high demand for reliable and frequent public transport services, indicating potential future investments in similar projects. Businesses with expertise in public transportation, especially those familiar with regional needs or innovative transport solutions, may find similar future tenders from regional councils an ideal avenue for expansion.
