UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Gateshead Highway Demolition - Shuttle Bus Service" was managed by Gateshead Borough Council. This procurement falls under the service category with a focus on transportation services within the region of Gateshead, UKC22, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded directly to Go North East Limited, a prominent bus operator in the area, to provide shuttle bus services during the demolition of the Gateshead Highway, affecting traffic around the Five Bridges Roundabout. The service operated from 22nd June 2026 to 15th July 2026, adhering to a tight mobilisation schedule. This procurement was finalized under a direct award process without competition, given the urgent need and specific requirements for local coordination.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in transportation and logistics services, particularly those capable of rapid deployment and local area integration. While this specific contract was awarded based on immediacy and local presence, similar future opportunities would benefit businesses that can provide comprehensive, flexible transport solutions in response to public infrastructure projects. Companies experienced in managing shuttle services, especially those with established operations in the Gateshead area, would be particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts, leveraging local knowledge and existing logistical frameworks.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Gateshead Highway Demolition - Shuttle Bus Service

Notice Description

Demolition of the Gateshead Highway requires the closure of the Five Bridges Roundabout from 21/6/26 to 16/7/26. This will have a significant impact on the bus network in eastern Gateshead and beyond. A shuttle bus, provided from Monday 22nd June 2026 to Wednesday 15th July 2026, will mitigate the impacts for residents. The shuttle service is required at very short notice in terms of the time available for the mobilisation of the service. Go North East are the largest operator in Gateshead with the most resource available. In addition, the service will need to interact and co-ordinate with the other bus services in the area which are predominantly provided by Go North East.
