## Summary

Newcastle City Council commissioned a matchday park-and-ride service for Newcastle United Football Club home fixtures. The service operates between Newcastle Great Park and St James’ Park, providing public road transport for supporters travelling to and from matches. This is a passenger transport operation rather than a construction, vehicle supply or general consultancy requirement. The buyer is Newcastle City Council, a sub-central public authority. Delivery takes place in Newcastle upon Tyne, specifically across the Newcastle Great Park and St James’ Park route. The procurement falls within public road transport services (CPV 60112000). It is relevant to bus and coach operators, passenger transport companies and providers with the operational capability to run event-day shuttle services on a defined urban route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Go North East Limited was selected for the single lot. The award date and contract signature date were 18 August 2026. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 17 August 2027. Its value is £72,000 excluding VAT and £86,400 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement covers operation during Newcastle United Football Club home fixtures in the 2026/27 season. The published procurement information records one completed lot and one active award to Go North East Limited. The award resulted from a direct award route, so the opportunity was not evaluated through a competitive tender process.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for event-day park-and-ride transport in Newcastle, linking a large development area with a major football stadium. A credible future competitor would need to operate public bus or coach services safely and reliably, manage concentrated passenger demand around match fixtures and provide vehicles, drivers and dispatch arrangements suitable for repeated short-duration peaks. Experience of scheduled or shuttle passenger transport, route planning, traffic coordination and event operations would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also need the capacity to maintain dependable service across a football season and to work with the council and venue-related stakeholders. The incumbent is a large passenger transport operator, indicating that operational scale and established bus-service capability are relevant to this buyer’s requirement.
