## Summary

The Tees Valley Combined Authority is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Bus Shelter Supply and Fit Framework" aimed at enhancing bus shelter facilities across the Tees Valley region. As a sub-central government body based in Darlington, UK, the Authority is conducting a pre-tender market engagement to prepare for this procurement. Critical deadlines for engagement include clarification questions by 3rd June 2026 and submission by 12th June 2026. The entire framework is valued at up to £3.6 million and is expected to run from 1st December 2026 to 30th November 2027.

Supplier engagement during the pre-tender phase enables businesses to shape the eventual procurement process and align their offerings with the Authority's requirements, offering a strategic advantage in future assignments. This opportunity is particularly suited for firms experienced in large-scale infrastructure projects and those willing to engage actively in preliminary market discussions.
