## Summary

The Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority recently completed the procurement process for the "Development of the Greater Lincolnshire Enhanced Partnership and all of the associated activity" with a focus on transport systems consultancy services. The award stage, concluded on 8th July 2026, was for the development of a Bus Service Improvement Plan as part of the broader National Bus Strategy efforts. The procurement was a selective process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, suitable for SMEs. The project is situated in Lincolnshire, East Midlands, United Kingdom, and will run from 8th June 2026 to 31st May 2027. The awarded contract, valued at £66,500, was made to Nic Greaves Public Transport Ltd, a small enterprise.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services within the transportation sector. It is particularly well-suited for SMEs with expertise in developing and implementing strategic transport plans, especially those capable of enhancing bus services in line with national strategies. Companies with a proven track record in collaborating closely with local authorities and bus operators to achieve substantial service improvements could find this type of project beneficial for establishing credibility and a foothold in the UK transport consultancy market.

## Notice

In March 2025 the Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority (GLCCA) was established and brings forward devolved powers and funding to support economic growth across the region. One of the requirements of the transport funding is to have a Greater Lincolnshire Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP). BSIPs are how LTAs, working closely with their local bus operators and local communities, set out a vision and plan for delivering the step-change improvement in bus services required by the National Bus Strategy. GLCCA requires additional technical support in relation to the production of the BSIP
