What is being bought

There are fourteen (14) contracts in total that are being tendered. Please note the value of the procurement published is the total aggregrated value of all fourteen (14) contracts. Please also note there are two (2) contract commencement dates within this round of bus tenders. The soonest contract start date of 2nd November 2025 has been entered into this notice, however, there are contracts that will commence 4th January 2026. Full details of contract terms can be found within the Invitation to Tender documentation.
