## Summary

The procurement process pertains to a contract awarded by Buckinghamshire Council for the "Marston Vale Line First/Last Mile Study", which falls under the Transport services category. The project aims to enhance connectivity for railway stations on the Marston Vale Line, thus maximising the benefits of the East West Rail investment. The contract was awarded on 18 December 2020, with a total value of £66,795, and was completed by 5 April 2021. This selective tender employed a restricted procedure and was conducted within the South East region of England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in transport services and urban connectivity solutions, particularly those focusing on local transport integration. Companies capable of providing innovative first and last mile transport services would be well-suited to participate in similar future tenders. As the study aims to improve transport links, businesses involved in consultancy, transport planning, and service provision may find valuable prospects to engage with local authorities and communities seeking enhanced transport infrastructure.

## Notice

The aim of the study is to identify the package of local, first/last mile transport provision required to maximise connectivity to/from railway stations on the Marston Vale Line (MVL). By doing so, capitalising on the benefit of investment made in East West Rail. In order to maximise the connectivity opportunities presented by East West Rail on the MVL and influence future travel demand, it is essential that stations and communities served by the new railway benefit from high quality first/last mile connectivity ahead of new services commencing. Planning for, and providing, high quality connections to MVL stations is essential if we are to realise wider environmental and social benefits and by doing so expand the reach of the railway's benefits
