## Summary

Norfolk County Council procured a local bus service, Service 3, operating between North Wootton and Queen Elizabeth Hospital and serving King's Lynn. The requirement is for road transport services, covering passenger transport on this route rather than vehicles or infrastructure works. Delivery is in Norfolk and the surrounding local area represented by North Wootton, King's Lynn and Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The council is the public-sector buyer. The procurement relates to a single bus service requirement and its purpose is to provide a regular local connection between the named community and hospital. This is relevant to bus operators, community transport providers and passenger transport businesses able to run local scheduled services in Norfolk.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and contained one lot. WNCT LTD was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 30 August 2026 to 29 August 2027. Its gross value is £40,320. The contract is active. The award covers the road transport service for the North Wootton to Queen Elizabeth Hospital route and is below the applicable threshold. The published outcome identifies a single supplier and a single contract for the requirement. The process therefore demonstrates a completed, low-value local bus procurement rather than a framework or multi-lot arrangement.

This outcome shows demand from Norfolk County Council for a small-scale, locally focused bus operation linking a community with a hospital and King's Lynn. A credible competitor for a future requirement of the same kind would need to run road passenger transport reliably across the named route, provide suitable vehicles and drivers, and manage the practical timetable and day-to-day service operation. Local knowledge of North Wootton, King's Lynn and the hospital connection would support effective delivery. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller transport business rather than only a large national operator. Relevant firms should be able to demonstrate dependable local bus operations and the capacity to maintain continuity throughout the contract.
