    Brief

    South Yorkshire Authority is seeking suppliers for a modern, efficient bus fleet to support its 15-year Bus Franchising programme. This opportunity comprises up to four separate contracts for different vehicle types: Electric Double-Deck, Electric Single-Deck, Diesel Double-Deck, and Diesel Single-Deck. Suppliers may be awarded contracts for multiple vehicle types. The contracts span three phases of Bus Franchising with vehicle delivery extending to 2030, offering a total potential value of up to £275 million across all vehicle types and contracts. While contracts provide framework agreements for procurement, there is no guaranteed minimum order volume or value – the specific number of vehicles ordered will be determined based on available funding and operational requirements. Suppliers should note that contracts allow for additional vehicle procurement beyond the initial phase 1 tranche, though the Authority has no obligation to place such orders.
