This is an open tender for the provision of Local Bus Services in Leicestershire.

Leicestershire County Council recognises that the pandemic has had an impact on travel habits and the challenges of uncertain patronage levels faced by operators. For this reason, the local bus service contracts are being tendered on a minimum cost basis only, with the Authority taking the revenue risk. Contracts are being tendered on a like-for-like basis, based on pre-Covid (February 2020) timetables to provide reassurance for the travelling public.

Tenderers are invited to bid for one or more of the 16 Lots, but single provider can only be awarded up to 11 lots.

The anticipated contract commencement date is 1st August 2022. The contract will be for 2 years with an option to extend for another year.

Tenders must be submitted electronically by the deadline set. Summary of documents to be submitted with your Tender can be found under 'Submission Checklist' at the end of the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document.
