This open procurement, classified under road transport services (CPV code 60100000), is currently in the Tender stage, with bids due by 3rd May 2022. The anticipated start date for the contract is 1st August 2022, running for two years, with an option to extend for an additional year. Interested parties may bid for one or more of the 16 Lots, although a single provider can be awarded a maximum of 11 Lots, ensuring competitive opportunities for various service providers in the sector. This tender presents considerable business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in public transport, including bus operators and service managers familiar with local travel patterns. Given the project's focus on a minimum cost basis due to the uncertain patronage levels caused by the pandemic, businesses capable of adapting to new operational realities and demonstrating reliability in service delivery will be well-positioned to compete effectively. With an open contracting method being utilised, this is an ideal chance for both established operators and emerging firms in the transport sector to expand their market presence in Leicestershire. ## Notice Section one: Contracting authoritySection I: Contracting authority one.1) Name and addressesI.1) Name and addresses Leicestershire County Council County Hall, Leicester Road, Glenfield Leicester LE3 8RA Contact Miss Izabela Skowronek Email izabela.skowronek@leics.gov.uk Telephone +44 1163057878 Country United Kingdom NUTS code UKF2 - Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire Internet address(es) Main address https://www.eastmidstenders.org/index.html Buyer's address https://www.eastmidstenders.org/index.html one.3) CommunicationI.3) Communication The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/Index?advertId=d143f31d-a4a6-ec11-8112-005056b64545 Additional information can be obtained from the above-mentioned address Tenders or requests to participate must be submitted electronically via https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/Index?advertId=d143f31d-a4a6-ec11-8112-005056b64545 one.4) Type of the contracting authorityI.4) Type of the contracting authority Regional or local authority one.5) Main activityI.5) Main activity General public services Section two: ObjectSection II: Object two.1) Scope of the procurementII.1) Scope of the procurement two.1.1) TitleII.1.1) Title Local Bus Services 2022 - 2024 Reference number DN597282 two.1.2) Main CPV codeII.1.2) Main CPV code 60100000 - Road transport services two.1.3) Type of contractII.1.3) Type of contract Services two.1.4) Short descriptionII.1.4) Short description This is an open tender for the provision of Local Bus Services in Leicestershire.
