## Summary

The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority is currently engaged in a planning stage tender titled "Market Engagement - new and improved bus services." The procurement involves non-scheduled passenger transport, with additional classifications for special-purpose road passenger-transport services and public road transport services. The engagement end date is set for May 31, 2024, with a Teams meeting scheduled for May 14, 2024, from 10 am to 12 pm. The event aims to inform potential suppliers about new and improved bus services funded by the mayoral precept, offering attendees the opportunity to ask questions and give feedback.

This procurement process presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the passenger transport industry to engage with the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority. Businesses that specialise in non-scheduled passenger transport, special-purpose road passenger-transport services, or public road transport services are well-suited to compete. The planned engagement session on May 14, 2024, provides a platform for suppliers to learn about upcoming tender rounds in August 2024, potentially leading to future business opportunities within the Combined Authority's area.

## Notice

With this in mind, we would like to invite you to attend a Teams meeting so we can share what services the CPCA is proposing. We will also be discussing the current tender rounds for Business as usual for August 2024 as there are items that may be of interest. This will be taking place online via teams on Tuesday the 14th of May from 10am to 12pm CPCA intends to record the session and make this available together with a copy of the slides afterwards. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide any initial feedback, and a feedback form will be made available after the event.
