In plain English

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority wants a contractor to run Tiger on Demand, a flexible shared minibus service. Passengers book trips by app or phone, and vehicles collect and drop them anywhere within their zone, with links to fixed bus routes. The work is split into two lots covering four zones, with an estimated total value of £6 million.

What the buyer wants

• Supply the vehicles (16 or 22 seats depending on zone), drivers, supervisors, maintenance staff and cleaning staff. • Provide the booking technology and integrate it with the scheme's back-office systems. • Run the service Monday to Saturday, 06:30 to 19:00, with no Sunday service.

Lots

Likely requirements

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

Running a fleet of up to 10 passenger vehicles across two lots, with licensed drivers, maintenance, booking technology and a six-day timetable, would rule out most small businesses unless they already operate a passenger transport business at this scale.

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.
