## Summary

The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority is conducting a tender titled "CPCA - West Huntingdonshire DRT" for a six-month trial project focused on non-scheduled passenger transport. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 15 February 2021. This project aims to evaluate the economic viability of demand-responsive transport (DRT) services compared to traditional bus services in the West Hunts area. The successful bidder will be responsible for providing vehicles, drivers, operations, maintenance, and a web-based app for real-time booking and scheduling. The total contract value is estimated at £400,000, and there is an option for a six-month extension at the end of the initial term.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the transport and logistics sector, as well as technology providers capable of developing booking applications. Companies with the entitlement to operate public bus services will be especially well-placed to submit competitive bids, as they can meet the specific requirements outlined in the procurement documentation. Engaging in this trial project could enhance a company’s portfolio, allowing participants to diversify their service offerings and establish valuable partnerships within the local transport network.
