What is being bought

Published requirement description

Working in coordination with Darlington Borough Council, Tees Valley Combined Authority

(TVCA) would like to reprocure bus service 17/18, covering areas of Darlington. The current

service in operation is contracted until March 2024. We therefore need to reprocure the

replacement service for when the current contract comes to an end.

TVCA are seeking to procure an operator to run the bus routes for 1- year, with an additional

optional 1- year extension should it be required. During this time period, TVCA will provide

financial support for the service. There will be a 3-month cancellation clause for the contract,

should this be required

What this means for your bid

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
