UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) bought coach hire with a driver to transport apprentices and trainees between King’s Lynn railway station and the National Construction College in Norfolk. The requirement is for reliable passenger transport on this specific route, linking the station with the college at PE31 6RH. It covers the journey between these locations rather than a broader transport network. The service is relevant to coach and bus operators able to provide passenger transport for education and training users in the King’s Lynn area.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Eagles Coaches Limited, a small and medium-sized supplier. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 2 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its awarded value is £99,750. The requirement was handled as a below-threshold procurement; the specific procedure is not identified. It was arranged as a single lot. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis or participation criteria, so the award outcome establishes that Eagles Coaches Limited was selected for the route-based coach service.

For coach operators considering comparable transport work for CITB, this award shows demand for a focused, local service carrying apprentices and trainees between a railway station and a construction college. A credible competitor would need suitable coaches, drivers and operational capacity to deliver reliable journeys on this route, with the ability to serve the college and rail connection in King’s Lynn. The contract was awarded to an SME, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a smaller supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large national operator. Relevant experience in dependable passenger transport for education or training users would help demonstrate capability against this buyer’s specific need.
