UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency procured tram season tickets for a staff business benefits scheme. The requirement is a benefits service, classified under CPV 75310000, focused on providing access to TramLink Nottingham travel products rather than constructing, operating or maintaining tram infrastructure. The buyer is a central government agency based in Bristol. The contracted service is associated with TramLink Nottingham, whose business benefits scheme supports employees using the Nottingham tram network. This opportunity is therefore relevant to tram operators, public transport providers, season-ticket sellers and organisations able to administer employee travel-benefit arrangements linked to Nottingham tram services. It is not a general transport consultancy, vehicle supply or infrastructure works requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, with the contract awarded to TRAMLINK NOTTINGHAM LIMITED. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs from 16 July 2026 to 14 July 2027. Its value is £17,400 excluding VAT, or £20,880 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route; the published data does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring criteria. This is a single-supplier award for the tram season-ticket business benefits service, rather than a multi-lot procurement or a framework with several appointed providers.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for employee tram season tickets delivered through a business benefits scheme by a large specialist transport supplier. The strongest future competitors would be tram operators, public transport ticketing providers or benefits-service businesses with a direct route to Nottingham tram products. Credibility would depend on being able to supply or arrange season tickets, manage the associated employee-benefit process and support the buyer’s staff scheme reliably. Experience with public-sector customers, employer travel benefits, ticket administration and the operational requirements of a tram network would help distinguish a supplier. Businesses offering only general employee rewards, unrelated transport services or infrastructure work would be less closely aligned with this requirement.
