Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council has completed the procurement process for a local bus service contract titled "Service 43 Reepham-Cawston-Aylsham-Hainford-Norwich." The project falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on road transport services. The contract, worth £62,309.27, covers a route within the East of England (UKH1 region) and was initiated under the "Below threshold - unknown" procurement method. The tender stage has progressed to the award and contract stage, with Sanders Coaches Ltd being the awarded supplier. The contract commenced on 1st May 2025 and is set to end on 12th April 2026.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for SMEs, particularly those involved in public transport and road transport services, to engage with local government contracts and expand their business reach. The procurement process gives smaller, regional businesses a platform to showcase their capabilities in delivering essential transport services to rural areas. With a focus on local connectivity and public service, companies that specialise in efficient and reliable transport operations are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders managed by sub-central government authorities like Norfolk County Council.
