## Summary

The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority is planning to award multiple bus service contracts, collectively known as the "2024 Mayoral Precept - local bus services," within the transport services category. This process, currently in the tender stage, involves six separate contracts for local bus routes including Tiger 1, Tiger 2 & 3, Tiger 4, Tiger 5, Tiger 7, and Tiger 9. These services are funded by the combined authority to support local transportation. The contracts are due to commence on the 29th of November 2024, with a tender submission deadline on the 2nd of September 2024. The procurement follows an open procedure to ensure transparency and comprehensive participation, allowing electronic submission of bids through the Due North/Pro-Contract Portal.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in public transport services. Firms capable of delivering high-quality bus services and offering competitive pricing are well-suited to participate. Businesses involved in transporting multiple passengers, particularly those experienced in managing local bus routes, stand to benefit by expanding their operational footprint within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough regions through these contracts. Additionally, there is potential for contract renewal, providing longer-term business stability for successful bidders.
