## Summary

Devon County Council procured a local public bus service, route 93S, operating between Torcross and Kingsbridge from Monday to Saturday, excluding public holidays. The requirement covers the supply and provision of the service in the South West of England. It is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000 for transport services. The procurement was a mini-competition under Lot 5 of Devon County Council’s Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The council is the buying organisation. The opportunity is relevant to bus operators and passenger transport providers able to run a scheduled local service between the named locations and meet the council’s operating requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective restricted procedure. Devon County Council selected Stagecoach South West on 25 June 2026. The awarded value is £146,184.43. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2034, an eight-year period. The tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026 at 12:00. The award covers one requirement: local bus service 93S between Torcross and Kingsbridge. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The council’s Passenger Transport Standard Conditions of Contract apply, including provisions allowing either party to give notice to terminate in accordance with those terms.

This award indicates sustained public-sector demand for scheduled local bus operations connecting Torcross and Kingsbridge. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capability to deliver a Monday-to-Saturday service, excluding public holidays, across this route and to manage reliable day-to-day passenger transport delivery. Relevant strengths would include access to suitable buses, qualified drivers, maintenance and compliance systems, scheduling and service-management capacity, and experience operating local authority-supported bus services. Suppliers able to demonstrate dependable performance, resilience, passenger-focused delivery and the financial and organisational capacity to support a long-running service would be well placed when this buyer next tests the requirement.
