## Summary

The University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust has concluded a procurement process for the provision of a public shuttle bus service. This contract is within the transport services industry category, excluding waste transport, and covers the region of England, specifically connecting locations in Leicester. The tender process, tagged as an award, utilised a competitive dialogue method above threshold and is now complete, with the contract awarded to D & G Bus Limited on 25 March 2026. The contract period is set to begin on 1 April 2026 and end on 31 March 2030, providing for a substantial project valued at £7,988,818.63 GBP, indicating significant investment in transport services.
