Call off for the Supply of Buses
Notice Description
The tender supports the Authority's objective to deliver a modern, efficient and future-ready bus fleet that will serve South Yorkshire for the next 15 years as part of its Bus Franchising programme. Following the further competition process, the Authority intends to enter into (up to) four separate contracts for four different vehicle types as follows: i) Electric Double-Deck, ii) Electric Single-Deck iii) Diesel Double-Deck, and iv) Diesel Single-Deck Suppliers may be awarded more than one vehicle type as part of an awarded contract. The awarded contracts provide no guarantee of value or volume, with the specific number of vehicles ordered per vehicle type/contract to be determined on the basis of available funding / operational need. The contract term includes options for phases one, two and three of Bus Franchising, with delivery extending up to 2030, and with a total potential contract value across all vehicle types/contracts of up to PS275m . The contracts allow the Authority to procure additional vehicles beyond the initial phase 1 tranche, but there is no obligation to do so.
