## Summary

The University of Bristol, in collaboration with the University of the West of England, has completed a tender for the "Coach Hire" service, which involves hiring buses and coaches with driver. The procurement process, classified under CPV Code 60172000, was conducted through an open procurement method, with a total contract value of £2,500,000. The tender period ended on 12 August 2016, and the contract commenced on 20 September 2016, extending to 19 September 2020. This procurement process took place in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport and logistics sector, particularly for large-scale coach hire companies.
