About

The Council is seeking a supplier for local bus services covering 21 bus services and bus links to improve access for local communities across the borough. Services are organised into Lots based on the area in which the services operate or the type of service being provided and represent approximately half of the registered local bus services in the borough. Many Lots are retenders of existing supported services, while some Lots include service enhancements, new services or amendments to existing services. The tendered services include local link town services connecting residential areas with local amenities, enhancements to otherwise commercial services, a small number of local shopper services serving more rural areas, and selected school services.
