Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by Norfolk County Council, a sub-central public authority in the UK, for the provision of road transport services labelled as "Services 88 and 89 Thetford to Kings Lynn." The procurement falls within the services category and aligns with the legal basis under the UKPGA 2023/54. The tender, classified under CPV code 60100000, was completed through a below threshold and unknown procurement method. The relevant contract, valued at £80,800, commenced on 1st May 2025 and is set to run until 31st August 2026. The award was made to Coach Services Ltd, and the contract was signed on 30th April 2025.

This tender opens opportunities for businesses experienced in road transport services, particularly those with the capacity to manage local bus routes funded by BSIP. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) like Coach Services Ltd, with expertise in delivering public transport solutions in the UK regions, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The focus on regional services suggests that businesses with a local presence or those familiar with the transport demands of the Norfolk area could potentially benefit from participating in such contracts, which not only offer financial growth but also strengthen community engagement and service efficiency.
