## Summary

Surrey County Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the "Expansion of Zero Emission Buses (ZEBs) in Surrey." This initiative aims to purchase zero-emission buses utilising a Bus Grant allocation from the Government, aligning with the Council's and Government's decarbonisation priorities. The procurement falls under the "goods" category specifically related to buses and coaches, designated by the CPV code 34121000. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 1st June 2027 and conclude on 31st May 2030. Located in Reigate, Surrey, the Council has published a planned procurement notice with a future notice date expected by 1st September 2026. This procurement process adheres to the legal basis of the UK Parliament Acts 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of zero-emission vehicles, particularly those specialising in public transport solutions. Companies with expertise in environmentally friendly technologies and infrastructure for electric transit solutions, such as depots capable of supporting a fleet of zero-emission buses, would find this contract particularly attractive. With the growing demand for sustainable transport options, participating in this procurement could bolster a business's portfolio and demonstrate its commitment to environmental innovations and governmental partnerships, paving the way for future opportunities within the public sector.

## Notice

This covers the purchase of ZEBs using Bus Grant allocation from Government. This supports the decarbonisation priorities of the Council and the Government. This follows the successful ZEBRA 2 and ZEBRA 2 additional bids, as well as other projects with Metrobus & Stagecoach. The specific vehicles being procured will depend on the route length, depot capacity etc, so cannot be defined at this time.
