Summary of the contracting process

Hull College, a sub-central government public authority based in Hull, has initiated a contract amendment process in relation to their ongoing procurement of "Students Bus Tickets" from Stagecoach Services Limited. The procurement falls under the transport tickets category with a focus on enabling statutory home to school transport. The contract, initially awarded on the 12th of September 2025, and active until 31st July 2026, has been amended on the 30th of January 2026 to increase the maximum contract value from £280,000 to £380,000 due to higher operational demand. This amendment does not alter the service scope or contract terms except for the financial aspect and is above the regulatory threshold.

This amended contract offers substantial opportunities for bus service providers who can meet larger service demands, indicating potential room for expanded operations and increased financial returns within the public transport sector. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like Stagecoach can compete effectively, especially those positioned to handle increased service volumes swiftly. The procurement method initially followed a direct procedure with no competition, suggesting that businesses with pre-existing relationships or those involved in framework agreements with public authorities might find similar opportunities advantageous for growth in public service contracts.
