## Summary

Newport City Council has concluded the procurement process for the purchase of local school season tickets on commercial bus services, focusing on transport to schools such as St Josephs, Bassaleg, Llanwern, John Frost, and Ysgol Gyfun Gwent Iscoed. The procurement, tagged under the industry category of "Road transport services," was conducted via a direct award method. The contract, identified as NCC202500213, was awarded to Newport Transport and involves services within the region of Newport, GB (UKL21). Key dates include the contract's start date on 1st November 2025 and its anticipated completion by 31st July 2026, with the possibility of a one-year renewal at the Council's discretion. The procurement process is complete, with the contract status marked as active, and was signed on 29th September 2025.

This tender provides opportunities for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and organisations prioritising social objectives like vocational training or public service missions. Given the reliance on existing commercial bus routes, businesses specialising in road transport services would find this procurement beneficial for growth. By aligning themselves with the local council's transport needs, potential suppliers can expand their service offerings and foster community relations, especially in areas aligned with Welsh devolved regulations. The direct award nature of this process could serve as a model for similar opportunities, creating partnerships that leverage established networks to support public sector transport requirements efficiently.

## Notice

There are currently commercial bus services running to St Josephs, Bassaleg, LLanwern, John Frost and Ysgol Gyfun Gwent Iscoed schools which we currently purchase season tickets to and these services can also carry fare paying passengers and pupils who do not qualify for free transport. NCC are not allowed to invite competition by other operators against a current commercial bus service that is already running and there are no current registrations being registered with the Traffic Commissioner on any of these routes by any other operator.
