## Summary

Angus Council is seeking tenders for the supply of local bus services set to commence in May 2022, with a tender period that closed on January 21, 2022. This procurement falls under the public road transport services category and is structured through an open procedure. The contract will be awarded across multiple lots, focusing on routes connecting Angus and Dundee, with provisions for contract renewals extending up to two additional years. Interested parties must submit their proposals electronically, showcasing their compliance with established criteria.

This tender presents significant opportunities for bus operators and logistics companies looking to expand their services in the Angus region.
