## Summary

The Folkestone and Hythe District Council is currently overseeing the completion of the "Folkestone Park & Ride Pilot," a small-scale public transport initiative funded by the ERDF Welcome Back Fund. This pilot aims to facilitate transportation from the Motis Centre to key areas in Folkestone, including Central Station and Marine Parade, particularly during weekends and weekdays in August. The procurement process is formally classified under public road transport services, with a contract value of £34,680. The contract commenced on 5th June 2021 and is set to conclude on 3rd October 2021. The tender period ended on 1st June 2021, marking the transition to the award stage of this procurement process.

This contract offers a valuable opportunity for transportation companies, particularly those specialising in road transport services such as bus and coach rental with drivers. Businesses capable of providing efficient public transport solutions, especially in a pilot or flexible operational capacity, would be well-suited to seize such opportunities for growth. Engaging with this project could allow companies to demonstrate their service capabilities and strengthen their market presence in the South East region of England.
