The proposed Bus Services Framework is being established to support the future procurement of a wide range of bus and passenger transport services.
These include 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.
The total estimated framework value is up to £200 million across the potential five-year term.
Nexus currently spends around £20 million each year on bus service contracts procured through a number of separate tendering exercises.
The new framework aims to provide a more efficient and flexible procurement route, reducing the need for repeated procurements while maintaining competition and supporting effective service delivery.
