    Brief

    Westmorland and Furness Council is seeking experienced bus operators to deliver local bus services for the 2026/27 financial year, funded through Bus Grant Funding. This procurement will support the continuation of existing services, introduction of new and enhanced routes, and replacement of services where external funding has ended. The Council will award individual service contracts (not a framework agreement) for an initial 12-month period, with an optional 6-month extension at the Council's discretion, for a maximum duration of 18 months. Successful operators must provide reliable, accessible, and sustainable transport services that improve community connectivity and support economic, social, and environmental objectives across Westmorland and Furness. Applicants should demonstrate relevant experience operating bus services and the capacity to meet service delivery standards.
