Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has completed the award phase for the contracts related to Home to School Transport Services, covering routes within the Swansea region (UKL18).

The contracts were signed on 22nd May 2023, involving multiple suppliers including both large and SME firms such as CYMRU COACHES LIMITED, AC JENKINS LIMITED, and Lets Go Travel (Wales) Ltd. The procurement process initially began with a tender notice on 3rd March 2023, inviting submissions by 7th April 2023 via the eTenderwales platform for a range of 17 lots. The service contracts are set to commence on 5th June 2023, ending on 1st April 2027, with an option for renewal extending up to another 12 months.

Given the procurement's open procedure, it is well-suited for both large enterprises and SMEs willing to establish or expand their operations in the area. The inclusion of multiple routes and the potential for contract extension make this engagement attractive for consortia who can deliver flexible transport solutions with competitive pricing. With the City & County of Swansea as the buying authority, businesses have the opportunity to build lasting relationships with local government clients and contribute to regional logistics and transportation development.
