## Summary

West Yorkshire Combined Authority has recently completed the procurement process for the Emergency AccessBus Provision, involving the award of a contract to DAWSONGROUP TRUCK AND TRAILER LIMITED. The initiative aims to address reliability issues within the existing fleet due to ageing vehicles by providing interim replacement buses to ensure the continuity of transport services. Classified under CPV codes for buses and coaches, as well as public-service buses, this contract falls within the services category, utilising a selective procurement method via a restricted procedure. The award was active from 30 March 2026, with the contract period running from 1 April 2026 to 1 November 2026. While the location spans various regions, including the United Kingdom and British Oversea Territories, the primary contact for coordination was Carla Shoesmith at the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.

This procurement proposition presents substantial opportunities for large-scale bus suppliers, although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are not the primary focus. Businesses equipped to provide reliable and accessible bus services within the specified contract period could leverage this into sustained growth, capitalising on the continuity needs of public transport services. The selective nature of the procurement process indicates that only pre-qualified suppliers were invited to tender, underlining the importance of industry experience and capacity within this sector. Suppliers that meet these criteria and can provide solutions for the specified categories are ideally positioned to compete for similar governmental contracts in the future.
