The contract is valued at £995,940 GBP and will run from April 1st, 2024, to March 31st, 2025. The buying organisation, Tees Valley Combined Authority, is seeking an operator for a one-year term with a potential one-year extension, providing financial support for the service. This tender presents an opportunity for transport service providers interested in public road transport contracts within the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West regions of the UK. Businesses with experience in operating bus routes in urban areas and managing public transport services would be well-suited to compete in this open procedure tender stage for a service contract with specific start and end dates, along with a 3-month cancellation clause. ## Notice Working in coordination with Darlington and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Councils, Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) would like to reprocure bus service 6/6A, covering areas from Darlington - Stockton. The current service in operation is contracted until March 2024. We therefore need to reprocure the replacement service for when the current contract comes to an end.\r \r TVCA are seeking to procure an operator to run the bus routes for 1- year, with an additional optional 1- year extension should it be required. During this time period, TVCA will provide financial support for the service. There will be a 3-month cancellation clause for the contract, should this be required. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4353a528-8a00-4a05-8e5c-939a7bd652a8 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 20 Dec 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Jan 2024 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £600,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,493,910 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TEES VALLEY COMBINED AUTHORITY GROUP, AND TEESSIDE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT | | Locality | DARLINGTON | | Post town | Darlington | | Postcode | DL2 1NJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC33 Darlington | | Local authority | Darlington | | Electoral ward | Sadberge & Middleton St George | | Westminster constituency | Stockton West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | STAGECOACH NORTH EAST | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
