## Summary

East Sussex County Council has awarded a contract titled "B23100A - Bus Service 100 and 101" under the CPV classification for public-service buses. The procurement process, which was conducted using a selective method as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, concluded with an award update on 28th February 2025. The awarded contract, with a value of £130,845, runs from 23rd July 2023 to 29th March 2026, including a one-year extension. The service will be delivered in the South East region of the United Kingdom and is funded by the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP). Initially, the contract was set to end on 29th March 2025, but the extension has been utilised as per the original tender documentation.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the transportation service industry, particularly those capable of enhancing public-service bus provisions. The contract's extension period allows businesses to establish long-term service delivery relationships with the council. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are specifically encouraged to participate, aligning with the council's strategy to support diverse business participants and community-oriented service providers. Given the dynamic purchasing system, capable providers who are not yet part of the system might consider joining to capitalise on future opportunities.
