The aim is to conduct an independent survey of Leicestershire bus passengers, facilitated by Transport Focus. The procurement process has been completed and a contract notice was published on the Find a Tender Service on 30 March 2026. As a sub-central government public authority, Leicestershire County Council, with its address in Leicester, oversees the project within the industry category of Customer survey services. This contract, initiating on 1 April 2026, will continue until 31 March 2027, and does not exceed the threshold requiring competition. The procurement method used was a direct award to Transport Focus.

This tender provides tangible opportunities for SMEs specialising in customer satisfaction surveys, especially those operating within the United Kingdom. Given its focus on transport services, organisations with expertise in survey administration related to public transportation can greatly benefit from participating in similar future tenders. Although Transport Focus, a small to medium enterprise located in London, was awarded this contract, other businesses in the sector can build partnerships and enhance their credentials by collaborating on similar government initiatives, potentially leading to business growth through effective public sector engagement.
