## Summary

North Tyneside Borough Council has recently completed a tender for the provision of travel passes for young people, aligning with their statutory obligations for home-to-school transportation. The procurement process was a direct award below the threshold, meaning it was carried out without competition, and the contract is awarded to Nexus. The services encompass road, railway transport, and the sale of travel tickets within the United Kingdom's UKC22 region. This contract falls under the 'services' category of the industry, with the award notice published on 11 February 2026, and the contract period scheduled to commence on 1 March 2026 and conclude on 28 February 2027.

This tender presents an avenue for growth primarily for businesses involved in transport services and travel ticket sales. It offers Nexus, a large-scale supplier, an opportunity to solidify its standing within public transportation services for young people. While the contract was awarded directly to Nexus, other enterprises operating within similar industries may seek to position themselves for future opportunities, particularly in delivering transport services essential for educational connectivity. Businesses with a focus on rail and road transport infrastructure, or specialised in providing transport solutions for educational institutions, should consider strategising their offerings to potentially meet similar procurement needs in future tenders.

## Notice

In order for the Local Authority to meet its statutory obligation in respect of home to school travel we are required to purchase travel passes for young people. This is a Direct Award to Nexus.
