## Summary

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has completed its Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) Programme, aimed at introducing between 200 and 275 zero emission buses along with the necessary infrastructure in West Yorkshire. The initiative, classified under 'General management consultancy services' (CPV code 79411000), was conducted using a restricted procedure. The phases of this programme included: an initial £70 million project for 141 buses in Bradford, Leeds, and Wakefield, funded partially by the Department for Transport's ZEBRA funding and private investment; a £4 million exploration project for Calderdale and Kirklees to introduce up to 8 buses; and a £21 million project aiming for 60 to 126 buses. The contract began on 4 September 2024 and will conclude on 1 December 2024, with a key tender period end date previously on 19 June 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in general management consultancy and those interested in contributing to sustainable transportation. SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) are particularly suited to compete due to the suitability criteria outlined. With the procurement stage now in the award phase and Stuart Nutton having secured a contract valued at £51,500, companies with expertise in zero emission technologies and supporting infrastructure can leverage this project to expand their service offerings and gain a foothold in the growing market for eco-friendly public transportation solutions.
