## Summary

The Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) has completed the award stage of a public procurement process for the extension of the East Cleveland Bus Service 1&2, covering the period from July 2024 to December 2024. This extension aligns with the BSIP funding and other supported services, planned until March 2025. The procurement falls under the services category with a CPV code of 60000000 (Transport services, excl. Waste transport). The awarded contract, valued at £209,653.60, has been given to Stagecoach North East through a limited procurement method without prior publication due to service continuity needs. The contract was signed on 30th June 2024, with the main delivery region being UKC.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those that can efficiently handle temporary service extensions in public transportation. Companies with experience in providing reliable bus services can leverage this contract to establish a stronger presence in the UK region. Given that the procurement method was direct award, businesses capable of rapidly mobilising and scaling their operations to meet specific local authority needs are well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. Large-scale operators like Stagecoach North East, who have demonstrated capacity and reliability, are key players in such contracts.

## Notice

TVCA and Local Authority leaders have decided to extend the current provision until March 2025 to align with the BSIP funding and other supported services.
