Focusing on bus shelters and stop hardstands, the contract, initially awarded in March 2023, has now been extended until 31 March 2028, funded by the underspend from the initial period. The work is primarily funded by the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP), with East Sussex County Council contributing £1.3m and West Sussex County Council contributing £599,180, both amounts needing to be spent by March 2025. The project falls under the industry category of bus shelters (CPV code 44212321) and covers the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process followed an open procedure above the threshold method, and this stage has moved from the Tender to Award Update. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies involved in public transport infrastructure improvement, especially those specialising in the provision, maintenance, and refurbishment of bus shelters. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to compete due to the contract's suitability criteria. The dynamic nature of the project, with work packages being called off as needed, allows adaptable and innovative businesses to showcase their capabilities and secure long-term partnerships with local authorities. The extended contract duration until 2028 also promises sustained work and potential for further extensions subject to additional funding. ## Notice East Sussex County Council & West Sussex County Council are seeking to appoint a supplier to work with both authorities on a program of provision, replacement, maintenance, and refurbishment of its public transport infrastructure, predominantly bus shelters and bus stop hardstands. The program of works will be dynamic, with individual work packages being called off from the contract as needed.
