The council is making available £150,000 in kick-start funding to improve bus services on the supported route from West Wick to Weston Town Centre, with a focus on making these services commercially viable after an initial period of at least one year. The tender period ended on 9 January 2017, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 30 April 2017, lasting until 30 April 2018. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the public transport and logistics sectors, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing innovative bus service enhancements. Companies that specialise in road transport services and have experience in implementing commercially applicable transport solutions will find this tender particularly well-suited for their capabilities, encouraging the growth of competitive and sustainable transport offerings in the region. ## Notice For any questions or for further details please visit https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk/ North Somerset Council (NSC) is looking to strengthen some key areas of the local commercial bus network by making available 'kick-start funding' to be used to provide new or enhanced services. This approach builds on successful kick-start projects that have been delivered within North Somerset in recent years. NSC has PS150,000 which is intended to kick-start a commercial enhancement of the existing bus service provision on the council supported route in Weston-super-Mare from West Wick to Weston Town Centre via Locking Castle and Flowerdown Retail Park The PS150,000 will be made available to fund the successful proposal(s) over a minimum period of one year.
