Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council has recently completed the tender process for the "Provision of Local Bus Services - Round 1: Intent to Award," adhering to the open procedure procurement method. This service contract falls under the transport services industry category, specifically excluding waste transport. The contracting process is geographically centred in the Wrexham region, with an award value of £620,000 (gross amount £744,000). This procurement stage is in the award phase with a pending status, and the contract period extends from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2028, with potential annual renewals up until 2030. The standstill period concludes on 11th July 2025, providing a timeframe for formal objections before moving towards contract signature.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for organisations within the transport sector, particularly those with experience in service delivery and capable of operating efficiently within regulatory frameworks. The nature of the contract allows large organisations, such as Arriva North West, to enhance their service portfolio and establish a more robust presence in the public transportation market in the Wrexham area. Additionally, the open participation method supports fair competition and potentially attracts SMEs interested in diversifying into public sector contracts, despite the absence of SME bids in the final stage for this specific lot.
