Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council is undertaking a procurement process for the "Supported Bus Services Framework Agreement", aimed at establishing a multi-supplier framework to deliver supported bus services within its local authority area. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with the contract valued at £4.8 million. Suppliers are expected to provide services which may include non-fare paying, community transport, shuttle, and wheelchair accessible transport options. The tender process utilises an open procurement method, and interested parties should have been aware of a recent amendment that reduced the minimum turnover requirement to £300,000. The deadline for submissions recently concluded on 9th February 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in public transportation, particularly those offering accessible services or community transport solutions. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and larger companies with experience in delivering similar services could benefit from this framework, enhancing their portfolio in the public transport sector. Companies that prioritise safety, hold relevant insurances, and can demonstrate high-quality service delivery are particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, the tender includes social value criteria, encouraging businesses to engage in community benefits such as local recruitment and training initiatives.
