## Summary

The Milton Keynes Council has completed a procurement process, titled "Local Bus Contracts 4 lots (contracts 1437 1438 1439 1440)", aimed at providing local bus services in various parts of Milton Keynes. The procurement was conducted under a selective method through a restricted procedure, with active contracts awarded for two lots: Lot 2 and Lot 4, each for a contract period of three years, commencing on April 1, 2021, and concluding on March 28, 2026. The tendering process concluded on January 1, 2021, within the public road transport services category, with a total contract value of £1,678,075. The delivery addresses for the services are in the South East region of England.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in public transport and related services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses that can provide reliable local bus services and possess the capability to manage contracts effectively would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. The increased focus on local transport services can facilitate sustained growth and expansion for bus operators and associated service providers in the region.
