UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council procured a local bus service linking South Lynn with King's Lynn. The requirement is classified as road transport services and is intended to serve the King's Lynn area. It is a public service contract for the operation of Service 3H, so the relevant market is bus and passenger transport operators able to provide scheduled local bus provision on this route. The council is the buying organisation and the service is delivered in and around King's Lynn, Norfolk. The requirement is focused on transport operations rather than the supply of vehicles, infrastructure or general consultancy services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold route, with one completed lot. WNCT Ltd was selected as supplier. The award was made on 21 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 30 August 2026 to 29 August 2027. Its gross value is £30,570. The evaluation basis is not set out in the published contracting information. The contract is active and the award remains active. This was a de minimis local bus contract for Service 3H, covering the South Lynn to King's Lynn route.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Norfolk County Council for a small-scale local bus operation serving South Lynn and King's Lynn. It is most relevant to bus operators and road transport businesses with the operational capability to deliver scheduled passenger services on a local route in the King's Lynn area. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator rather than only by a major transport group. Businesses assessing their fit for similar council work should focus on their ability to provide reliable local bus operations, manage route delivery and serve the council's specified community transport need.
