Summary of the contracting process

Hull College procured public transport bus tickets from bus operators to support statutory home-to-school transport for its students. The requirement is for transport tickets rather than bus operation, allowing eligible students to travel between home and college or school under the college’s statutory transport arrangements. The buying organisation is Hull College, based in Hull. The awarded tickets were for East Yorkshire Motor Services Limited, indicating a requirement suited to an established public transport operator able to supply and administer ticket products. Delivery covered England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The relevant category is transport tickets (CPV 34980000).

This below-threshold procurement was completed using a direct award without competition under Regulation 41 of the Procurement Act 2023. The contract was awarded to East Yorkshire Motor Services Limited on 12 September 2025 for £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 12 September 2025 and ran from 12 September 2025 to 31 July 2026. One lot was completed. The contract status is terminated because the contract was completed on 31 July 2026, with a final value of £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold. The award covered transport tickets for the college’s statutory home-to-school transport requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Hull College for a managed supply of public transport tickets supporting statutory student travel. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be established bus operators, transport groups or ticketing providers with access to relevant local and regional services, reliable ticket-fulfilment processes and the operational capacity to support recurring student journeys. Credibility would also depend on being able to provide tickets across a wide geographic area, maintain clear contractual arrangements with the college and support compliance with statutory home-to-school transport obligations. Experience supplying public-sector education or transport services, handling student or concessionary travel products, and coordinating delivery at scale would strengthen a competitor’s position when this type of requirement is considered again.
