Tender: Nexus Bus Services Framework – Local, School, Seasonal, Group, Metro Replacement and Emergency Transport (Up to £200M)

About

Nexus is seeking suppliers for a Bus Services Framework to support future procurement of a wide range of bus and passenger transport services, including secured local bus services, schools and works transport, group travel, seasonal services, Metro replacement services, and other operational or emergency transport requirements. The framework will operate as a closed framework agreement for an initial three-year period, with the option to extend for up to 24 months, and has a total estimated value of up to £200 million across the potential five-year term. Nexus currently spends around £20 million each year on bus service contracts procured through separate tendering exercises, and the new framework aims to provide a more efficient and flexible procurement route that reduces repeated procurements while maintaining competition and supporting effective service delivery.
