## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has issued a tender for the provision of a Shuttle Bus and Driver. The Authority aims to promote sustainable transport by developing an autonomously driven shuttle bus from Culham railway station to the site. Pending technology development, UKAEA seeks to hire a bus with a driver to fulfil this role, enhancing the feasibility of the service. The deadline for tender submissions is 10th February 2023, with a contract period starting on 11th February 2023 and ending on 12th February 2023. The procurement falls under the category of transport services and is open to SMEs.

This tender by UKAEA presents a business opportunity for companies in the transport sector, specifically those offering road transport and hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Businesses interested in sustainable transport solutions and capable of providing shuttle bus services are well-suited to compete. With a clear focus on promoting environmental sustainability, this tender aligns with current trends towards greener transport options. Successful bidders will have the chance to contribute to reducing vehicle traffic and enhancing transport accessibility to Culham Science Centre in the UK.

## Notice

UKAEA is keen to promote the use of sustainable transport to reduce the number of vehicles accessing the site and to this end is developing an autonomously driven shuttle bus from the nearby Culham railway station to the site at certain times of the day. Development of this technology is some way off and so in the meantime UKAEA wishes to hire a bus with a driver that will fulfil this function and help to establish the feasibility of this facility
