## Summary

The procurement process titled "Oasis Shuttle Bus 2025" was managed by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). It involved hiring passenger transport vehicles with drivers to facilitate bus operations between Manchester city centre and Heaton Park during Oasis Concerts scheduled for various dates in July 2025. This contract, classified under the services industry category, was awarded after a tender initiation, with a total estimated value of GBP 280,000. The tender period concluded on 23 April 2025, and the contract period will run from 11 to 20 July 2025. The award status is active, and the primary focus was on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to TfGM's suitability criteria.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in transport services, particularly those with experience in passenger vehicle operations. Businesses such as Diamond Bus North West Ltd, First Manchester Ltd, Go North West, and Stagecoach Manchester Ltd were identified as suppliers, indicating a competitive environment among established transport operators in Greater Manchester. As public transport and event management are crucial for concert crowds, companies with logistics expertise would be well-positioned to benefit from future opportunities stemming from similar events organised by TfGM and other regional authorities.
