Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the "Bus Stop Infrastructure Improvements" project. This initiative, part of the broader works category, aims to enhance approximately 105 bus stops and stations throughout Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Key enhancements will cover various elements including bus cages, shelters, poles and flags, timetable cases, vegetation clearance, footway paving, and raising kerbs. The market engagement phase for this project is currently scheduled, with a milestone response deadline set for 7th July 2026. The Authority seeks to collaborate with suppliers fulfilling the requirements of the Procurement Act 2023, and expects the project to start on 2nd November 2026, with an anticipated completion by 31st October 2028.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in environmental improvement works and refurbishment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to engage with this procurement, given the project's focus on varied elements of infrastructure enhancement. Through involvement, businesses have the chance to establish themselves as key players in infrastructure development across a notable geographical region. This opportunity not only offers potential financial gains but also the prospect of long-term partnerships with a public authority on strategic urban development projects.
