## Summary

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) issued a tender for the provision of local bus services, titled "2024 Local Bus Services – Contract V4". This procurement, classified under the transport services industry category, aims to support local bus services within Huntingdonshire and South Cambridgeshire. The awarded contract, valued at £85,680, spans 12 months and utilised an accelerated open procedure, justified by the urgent need to replace the deregistered bus route. Key dates include the contract signing on 29th November 2024 and bidding that concluded on 11th November 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector, particularly those specialising in local public transportation. The requirement for two timetable options and the emphasis on quality and affordability (50% weightage each) make it ideal for companies that deliver high-standard, cost-effective bus services. SMEs, as exemplified by the successful bidder Vectare Limited, are well-suited to compete, potentially enhancing their market presence and contributing to regional public transport improvements.
