UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Council procured goods and parts for a range of bus shelters and bus stops installed across the borough. The requirement covers bus stop infrastructure supplies, including bus stop flags for poles and shelters, fitting brackets and jubilee clips, as well as the materials needed for different shelter and stop designs. Supplies are provided on a call-off basis, as and when the Council requires them, rather than as a single fixed delivery. The main category is goods, with the relevant classification covering bus shelters. The work supports bus stop infrastructure across Cheshire East and is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of bus shelter components and associated street furniture materials.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to Trueform Engineering Ltd, with one completed lot. Cheshire East Council used a below-threshold procurement; the specific method is recorded as unknown. The award is active and the contract was signed on 28 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with one optional 12-month extension at the Council’s discretion, giving a maximum end date of 31 August 2028. Its value is £63,633.80 excluding VAT, or £76,360.56 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated and awarded as a goods contract, and the selected supplier is Trueform Engineering Ltd. The contract is active rather than cancelled or terminated.

This procurement shows established demand from Cheshire East Council for a specialist, responsive supplier of bus stop infrastructure materials. A credible future competitor would need to supply a varied range of bus shelter and stop components, including flags for poles and shelters, fitting brackets, jubilee clips and other compatible goods. The call-off model indicates that the supplier must support requirements as they arise, so dependable stock management, order fulfilment and delivery arrangements would be important. Product breadth and the ability to provide parts for different shelter and stop designs would strengthen a supplier’s position. The award to an SME demonstrates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused small or medium-sized business with relevant bus shelter supply capability.
