This procurement falls under the services sector, specifically focusing on administration, defence, and social security services. The tender is part of an open procedure and was published on 29th October 2019, with a submission deadline set for 15th November 2019. The contract period is set to commence on 9th December 2019 and will conclude on 31st March 2021. The location for the delivery of services is the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in legal and economic consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in transport regulations and decision-making processes. Companies that demonstrate a capacity for handling detailed and sensitive information, as well as a proven track record in drafting accurate determinations, will be well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage with this tender, as it offers a chance to expand their services in a niche area of public sector decision-making. ## Notice Legislation gives bus operators a right to apply to the Secretary of State (SoS) for modification to the reimbursement rates set by local authorities for journeys made under the mandatory England-wide travel concession. A contract is required to appoint a Decision Maker(s) to act on behalf of the Secretary of State to determine applications submitted for the financial years 2019/20 and 2020/21. The determination of bus operator appeals is a specialist area of work that requires an unusual skill set including an ability to consider detailed legal and economic information contained in commercially sensitive submissions and to draft clear and concise determinations that minimise the risk of legal challenge. Tenders can only be submitted by electronic means via the AWARD e-tendering system.
