## Summary

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council procured six new coach-built buses for its Community Transport service. The purchase is intended to replace existing buses that are nearing the end of their efficient and reliable service life, with rising maintenance costs, more frequent breakdowns and declining fuel efficiency. This is a vehicle supply opportunity for manufacturers, dealers and specialist bus suppliers able to provide new coach-built vehicles for transporting 10 or more people. The work relates to the council’s Community Transport operation and delivery is associated with Stockton-on-Tees. The procurement is for goods rather than bus operation, maintenance services or infrastructure works. Suppliers with relevant public-sector, community transport or accessible passenger transport vehicle experience would find the requirement most closely aligned with their business.

The procurement has reached completion. It used a limited further competition under the TPPL Bus & Coach Framework, with an award procedure without prior publication of a wider call for competition. The requirement was evaluated on price and service-related quality: price carried 45 points, while after-sales support, account management and warranty each carried 15 points. Two electronic bids were received. Their valid bid values ranged from £700,455.78 to £804,762.00. The active award was made to Treka Limited. The associated contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The published outcome does not state an awarded value or contract duration. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and the procurement record identifies the single requirement as a cancelled lot despite the active award and signed contract.

This outcome indicates demand from Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for replacement coach-built buses supporting community transport, at a substantial multi-vehicle scale. A future competitor would need the ability to supply new buses for passenger transport and to demonstrate dependable whole-life support, not just a competitive vehicle price. The evaluation placed equal importance on after-sales provision, account management and warranty, so credible suppliers should have established service arrangements, responsive customer support and warranty administration capable of keeping community vehicles reliable. Experience supplying councils or similar passenger transport operators would help demonstrate delivery confidence. Businesses unable to offer organised post-sale support, account ownership and robust warranty cover would be less well placed when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
