Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council procured works to improve bus-stop infrastructure across Herefordshire as part of its Bus Service Improvement Plan. The requirement covers replacement, maintenance and refurbishment of public transport infrastructure, predominantly bus shelters, together with associated infrastructure. Individual work packages are called off as needed from the contract, making this a programme of changing works rather than a single installation project. The procurement is for bus shelters and bus-stop shelter construction work (CPV 44212321 and 45213315). The purpose is to improve the bus waiting experience, make public transport more attractive and encourage increased passenger use. Delivery is across Herefordshire, with Herefordshire Council as the buying organisation.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a below-threshold open competition. BUS SHELTERS LTD. was selected, and the contract was signed on 14 July 2026. The contract runs from 14 July 2026 to 13 July 2027, with an optional 12-month extension to 13 July 2028, subject to grant funding, budget approval, governance and satisfactory performance. The contract value is £650,000 excluding VAT (£780,000 including VAT). There was one lot, identified as suitable for SMEs. Evaluation weighted price at 40%, quality at 48% and social value at 12%. The tender deadline was 1 December 2025 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 24 November 2025 at 12:00.

The award demonstrates an established requirement for a supplier able to deliver bus shelter replacement, construction, maintenance and refurbishment across a county-wide public transport infrastructure programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in bus shelter and bus-stop construction, together with the capacity to manage individual work packages called off as required. Experience coordinating varied infrastructure works and maintaining consistent quality across multiple locations would be relevant. The evaluation gives greater weight to quality than price and also assesses social value, so suppliers would need a strong delivery approach alongside competitive pricing. The contract was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a focused specialist provider can be well placed to compete, particularly if it can demonstrate reliable delivery and public-sector social value.
