## Summary

Hull College is purchasing bus tickets from East Yorkshire Motor Services Limited for use within its operations. The requirement is categorised as goods and relates to public-service bus transport; the item classification is public-service buses (CPV 34121100). Delivery is in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The procurement was arranged as a sole-supplier purchase, with the supplier rationale referring to EYMS as the only sole supplier within the East Riding boundary. This is a single-lot requirement, rather than a set of separately described ticket or route packages. The selected supplier is a large bus operator based in Newcastle upon Tyne, while the purchasing organisation is Hull College, based in Hull.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Hull College made a direct award to East Yorkshire Motor Services Limited, citing its position as the only sole supplier within the East Riding boundary lines. The single lot was marked complete. The award was dated 1 October 2026 and has a gross value of £260,000. The contract period runs from 16 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is recorded as pending, and a contract signature was scheduled for 16 October 2026. The award information identifies bus tickets as the requirement, with public-service buses as the item classification. The process records SME suitability for the lot, but gives no further detail on evaluation criteria.

For a supplier considering similar work from Hull College, the awarded requirement indicates demand for bus tickets linked to travel within the East Riding. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable bus ticketing for this geography and demonstrate that its service can cover the college’s transport needs at the scale represented by a single, substantial purchase. The award route was a direct award on the stated ground that EYMS was the only sole supplier within the East Riding boundary lines. A future competitor would therefore need to offer a viable alternative with a relevant operating footprint and a clear case that it can supply the required tickets across the area. The lot was marked suitable for SMEs, so smaller businesses may be relevant if they can meet the geographic and supply requirements.
