## Summary

The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority is currently conducting a tender process for the "CPCA - West Huntingdonshire DRT" project, aimed at exploring the viability of Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) in comparison to traditional bus services in the East of England. The tender, which has a budget of £500,000 and a minimum value of £300,000, is in the planning stage, with the submission deadline set for 15 February 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 5 April 2021 and will run for six months until 4 October 2021. This procurement is classified under the transport services industry, specifically focusing on non-scheduled passenger transport, and will utilise an open procedure for vendor submission.
