## Summary

The Cheshire West and Chester Council has completed a procurement process concerning the provision of local bus services, titled "Local Bus 60241", which spans from January to July 2026. The purchase falls under the services category within Transport services, and it took place in the UK region of Ellesmere Port. This contract employs a direct procurement method under the legal jurisdiction outlined by UKPGA 2023/54, which means it involves a below-threshold level of funding without competitive tender. The contract was awarded on 23 December 2025, with Stagecoach (North West) Limited being recognised as the successful supplier. It is notable that the contract will be active from 6 January 2026 and will conclude on 17 July 2026, with a gross contract value of £53,000.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in transport services to engage in long-term growth within public infrastructure by leveraging the partnership and potentially proving their capacity to handle similar future contracts. Although Stagecoach (North West) Limited, a large-scale supplier, has been selected, small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in transport services could aim for similar opportunities with local councils by offering innovative or cost-effective solutions. This contract underscores the demand for reliable and efficient service providers in the public transport sector, allowing businesses to enhance their portfolio and gain credibility within the industry.
