## Summary

The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for the "2025 Tiger Routes - local bus services" contract, classified under the industry category of road transport services. The procurement used an open procedure to award contracts for multiple local bus services routes, funded by the CPCA to support the regional transport infrastructure. This procurement falls under the award stage, with contracts commencing on 27th May 2025 and running for an initial 12 months, with options to extend for a further two years. The awarded contracts cover areas within England, United Kingdom, and the total value of the award amounts to £4,248,378.96.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and companies specialising in motor vehicles for transporting larger groups. The awarded contracts for routes, such as those taken by Whippet Coaches Limited and Stagecoach, demonstrate potential for established transport providers to expand their operations, while also offering newer entities the chance to compete for similar future contracts in the region. The focus on local services and the availability of tiered contract extensions make this a favourable opportunity for companies that can deliver consistent and reliable services within a competitive pricing structure.
