They are published award values, not payments.

Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The Truro Park and Ride Services ('Services') provide a key transport link, offering reliable and affordable travel into Truro, connecting destinations such as Truro College, Royal Cornwall Hospital, New County Hall, and the city centre. The Services operate Monday to Saturday with high-frequency intervals and currently supports approximately 60,000 passenger journeys per month. Cornwall Council previously appointed an operator to deliver the Services following a competitive procurement. The appointed operator has now taken the decision to exit the Cornwall market, and as a result, their service will be withdrawn from Sunday 15th February 2026. To ensure continuity of this essential service, the Council has undertaken a direct award for the continued delivery of the Services. This notice relates to the direct award of a new contract for the Truro Park and Ride Services from 15th February 2026 to 28th March 2028.
