In plain English

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority wants a delivery partner to redesign and improve bus and tram stops, shelters and interchanges across South Yorkshire, as part of its new integrated transport network. The contract starts with concept design and can extend into detailed design, manufacture, installation and ongoing supply across the network. The estimated total value is £181.3 million.

What the buyer wants

• Produce concept designs for bus and tram shelters that are attractive, practical, durable, safe and accessible, with later stages covering detailed design, testing and commissioning. • Act as Principal Designer under the CDM 2015 regulations for the design stages, then as Principal Contractor for the build stage. • Be ready to manufacture, install and supply shelters at key locations and across the wider network if the later stages are awarded.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The £181.3 million value, the combined Principal Designer and Principal Contractor roles under CDM 2015, and the need to show design and construction capacity at scale would rule out most small businesses unless they bid as part of a consortium or joint venture.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
