## Summary

The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority is conducting a procurement process for the "CPCA - WEST HUNTINGDONSHIRE DRT" project, a six-month trial aimed at assessing the economic viability of Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) compared to conventional bus services. This initiative is classified under motor vehicles for the transport of 10 or more persons. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the contract period commencing on 2nd August 2021 and concluding on 1st March 2022. The tender process closed on 3rd June 2021, and the total contract value is £400,000, with a minimum value of £200,000. The contract has been awarded as of 16th July 2021, to Stagecoach East, whose services will commence on 1st September 2021.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses heavily involved in transportation, particularly those specialising in vehicle operations, maintenance, and technology solutions such as app development for real-time route booking. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focused on innovative transport solutions could find this contract particularly appealing, as the authority aims to improve DRT services in the East of England. Companies that can provide or contract vehicles, drivers, and a robust scheduling system are well-suited to compete in this space, aligning with the authority's strategic goals for efficient public transport services.
