This process falls under the procurement stage of tender update as of 25th February 2026.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in transport services or public information dissemination. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged, as the procurement emphasises suitability for SMEs. With a gross contract value of £108,000, companies can leverage this project to expand their portfolio of public service delivery; it provides a sustained engagement over a contract period starting on 20th April 2026, potentially extending further with renewal options. The quality of service and competitive pricing will be significant criteria in the selection process, creating potential for businesses focused on high-calibre service provision and cost efficiency to succeed. ## Notice Tees Valley Combined Authority (the 'Contracting Authority'), part of the Tees Valley Combined Authority Group are seeking to procure a provider to undertake the posting of local bus service information (at-stop timetables).

A contract extension or variation may also be required in the event of a significant and unforeseen change in the volume of timetable changes that must be produced or posted. This may arise where external factors - such as legislative or regulatory changes, region wide service revisions mandated by relevant transport authorities, or other circumstances outside of TVCA's control - result in a substantial increase in the number of bus timetables requiring updating and installation within compressed timeframes. Such circumstances would materially alter the volume of work beyond what could reasonably have been anticipated at award stage. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016919-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 18 Mar 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 19 Apr 2026 - 19 Apr 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £108,000 | | Lots value | £108,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TEES VALLEY COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | DARLINGTON | | Post town | Darlington | | Postcode | DL2 1NJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC33 Darlington | | Local authority | Darlington | | Electoral ward | Sadberge & Middleton St George | | Westminster constituency | Stockton West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services ### Codes - 63712100 - Bus station services ## Release History - 25 Feb 2026 at 14:05 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016919-2026 - 25 Feb 2026 at 12:06 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016838-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016919-2026 25th February 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016838-2026 25th February 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=1017204630 - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/D6DC3AZ8ZH - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
