## Summary

NCG Corporation procured student transport services: organised coach trips for students to educational visits and points of interest. The requirement concerns transport for students in educational settings, rather than general passenger services. The buyer is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, and the procurement describes delivery across the United Kingdom and a range of overseas locations. The resulting arrangement is intended for use by CPC-member further education institutions, universities, sixth forms, academies, schools, museums and similar organisations; local authorities may also use it when arranging transport for educational establishments. This is a transport services requirement (CPV 60000000), with the scope centred on taking student groups to destinations for education and interest visits.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Holmeswood Coaches Ltd. The award date was 23 October 2026, with an awarded value of £20,000. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2030. The procurement used an open procedure, and the published estimate was £20,000. The contract is for student transport services through a dynamic purchasing system intended to serve participating education organisations. The tender deadline was 11 October 2026. The data records one award and does not divide the requirement into lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable. No evaluation criteria or supplier-specific eligibility requirements are set out in the procurement details.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from NCG Corporation for coach transport serving student education visits and trips to points of interest. A credible competitor would need to provide organised group transport suited to educational settings, and to serve a broad range of institutions, including schools, colleges, universities and museums, as well as local authorities procuring for them. The arrangement is designed for use by multiple eligible organisations, so suppliers should be equipped to meet requirements from different education settings rather than only a single school or destination. SMEs were considered suitable, indicating that smaller operators may be relevant competitors. Holmeswood Coaches Ltd secured the contract, providing a concrete example of the type of transport supplier selected for this requirement. The future opportunity is specifically student coach transport, not general passenger work. Adapting to the buyer’s dynamic purchasing system route will also matter when this requirement returns to market.
