This procurement process, currently at the Tender stage, is classified under the industry category of 'Public-service buses' (CPV code 34121100) and has a budget of GBP 8,400,000. Businesses interested must submit their electronic bids by 4th September 2026 through the Government's Supplier Portal. The contract is slated to start on 31st March 2027 and will last until 30th March 2037, considering a potential supply of up to twenty-four buses over this period. The process follows an open procedure, evaluating tenders based on cost, quality, performance, and environmental considerations. This tender presents a robust opportunity for bus manufacturers, especially those capable of providing electric, hybrid, hydrogen fuel-cell, or HVO-compatible diesel vehicles. Enterprises with expertise in producing eco-friendly, high-capacity vehicles along with supporting services like spare parts, training, and technical support will find this project promising. Given that the tender is open to businesses from Gibraltar, the UK, and countries with relevant trade agreements, it offers an excellent avenue for business growth in the public transport sector, particularly for firms focused on sustainable transport solutions. This could significantly benefit companies aiming to expand their presence or establish a foothold in Gibraltar's transport infrastructure market. ## Notice HM Government of Gibraltar invites tenders for the supply and delivery of mid-size public service buses for use by the Gibraltar Bus Company Ltd.
