The procurement, classified under the CPV code for transport services, is currently in the planning stage. A tender is anticipated to be announced on 5th July 2021. The contract is valued at £241,000 and focuses on implementing a demand-responsive bus scheme to address reduced conventional bus services exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for transport service providers, particularly those specialising in flexible and demand-responsive transport solutions. Businesses capable of adapting efficient service models to connect less accessible areas with key transport routes will be well-suited to compete. The successful implementation of the Fflecsi Services pilot scheme aims to ensure better connectivity and access to employment areas for local residents, making this an appealing prospect for innovative transport companies looking to expand their operations in the public sector. ## Notice Bus service contract to implement a demand responsive bus transport scheme ("Fflecsi Services") in Blaenau Gwent, Wales where conventional local bus services have been reduced and traditional demand patterns have been disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The intention is to launch a Fflecsi Services pilot scheme to better determine the role of Fflecsi and its ability to operate efficiently in densely populated environments where an increased number of users are expected to make use of the services. The Fflecsi Services will also aim to better connect the Ebbw Fach and Ebbw Vale areas with existing bus and train routes so as to facilitate direct access to larger employment areas for patrons who do not live within close proximity to existing fixed service transport. A direct award of a bus service contract is now envisaged to facilitate the successful integration of the Fflecsi Services pilot in Blaenau Gwent. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Bus service contract to implement a demand responsive bus transport scheme ("Fflecsi Services") in Blaenau Gwent, Wales where conventional local bus services have been reduced and traditional demand patterns have been disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
