## Summary

The Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) has recently completed the procurement process for the “East Cleveland to Teesport - Service 102” transport services. TVCA, in collaboration with Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, sought an operator to provide a bus service connecting East Cleveland to Teesport, facilitating access to employment sites such as Wilton International and British Steel. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with a contract duration of one year, extendable for an additional year, and a 3-month cancellation clause.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses in the transport services sector to compete for a contract to operate the service. Companies with experience in public road transport services and a presence in the UK regions of UKC11, UKC12, or UKC13 would be well-suited to participate. The contract offers the potential for business growth through servicing a growing employment base at Teesport and fostering sustainable transport connections to key employment sites in the area.

## Notice

Working in co-ordination with Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) would like to support a bus service providing coverage from areas of East Cleveland to Teesport. The service should be operated in accordance with the Service 102 timetable (Part 5), which coordinates with company shift patterns to allow access to employment for workers at Teesport. As well as this, the service will provide new links to key employment sites at Wilton International, British Steel, and has the potential to serve Teesworks (when the Park and Ride site is complete). As the purpose of this service is connectivity to Teesport employment opportunities, the final timetable will be subject to boarding restrictions, meaning users may only board from Easington to Dormanstown on the way to the site and alight from Dormanstown to Easington on return journeys. TVCA is seeking to procure an operator to run the extension for a one-year pilot, there will also be an optional extension period of a further year, subject to agreement. During this period, TVCA will provide financial support for the service. There will be a 3-month cancellation clause for the contract, should this be required.
