Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council has purchased six new coach-built buses for its Community Transport service. This is a vehicle supply requirement, covering the provision of the buses rather than a wider transport operation. Delivery is in Stockton-on-Tees, in the north-east of England. The council is the buyer and the vehicles are intended for its community transport service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Treka Bus Limited. The award was made on 27 July 2026, for £679,317.78 excluding VAT (£815,181.34 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 November to 31 December 2026. The council used a competitive award under a framework, with a selective procedure. The requirement was handled as a single lot. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows demand from Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for a small fleet of new coach-built buses for community transport. A credible future competitor would need to supply vehicles built to the council’s transport requirements and manage delivery to Stockton-on-Tees within the required timeframe. The selected supplier, Treka Bus Limited, is an SME, showing that a supplier of this scale was able to secure the work. Businesses specialising in coach-built passenger vehicles and capable of delivering a multi-vehicle order are the closest fit when this specific requirement returns to market.
