    Brief

    Southend-on-Sea City Council is seeking a supplier to operate a new bus service connecting the southern and eastern areas of Southend-on-Sea to London Southend Airport and Temple Farm Industrial Estate. The service will fill a gap in public transportation by providing direct links from Southend Travel Centre to the airport and industrial areas, serving residents in St. Laurence, Prittlewell, St. Luke's, Southchurch, Victoria, Kursall, and Milton Wards. This initiative supports local communities, reduces the need for residents to travel through the city centre for connections, and provides essential transport links for local businesses in Temple Farm Industrial Estate that currently have limited or no direct bus services to other parts of the city. The contracting authority is Southend-on-Sea City Council, which may be succeeded by entities assuming the Council's functions through Local Government Reform.
