What is being bought

Published requirement description

TfGM is looking to establish framework contracts for the provision of Ultra Low Emission Buses (ULEB) and the associated repair and maintenance. The purpose of this tender is to establish a framework of suppliers who will be able to provide the requirements detailed when a ULEB need is identified. The tender includes three lots:

i) Lot 1 – Single Deck Low Floor Accessible Bus

ii) Lot 2 – Double Deck Low Floor Accessible Bus

iii) Lot 3 – Double Deck Low Floor Accessible Bus with Guide Wheel Application

Suppliers who enter into a Framework Agreement as a result of this procurement exercise will be eligible to provide the goods and services under the relevant lot(s). Where TfGM requires services under a particular lot, these will either be directly awarded or be subject to a further competition, based upon a final specification and requirement.
