Common questions
Transport services procurement, in short
Who buys transport services in the UK public sector?
339 public sector organisations have awarded transport services contracts since 2021. The most active are Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport (3336 contracts), Leicester City Council (3212 contracts), The North Yorkshire Council (821 contracts).
How much is a typical transport services contract worth?
The median is £37k, across the 12,872 contracts of 13,209 that publish a value. A median rather than an average, because a single framework worth hundreds of millions would otherwise make the typical contract look far larger than it is.
When do transport services contracts come up for renewal?
1,533 contracts in this category have an end date inside the next 18 months. End dates are published in the original award notice, so they are visible long before any re-tender is advertised, which is usually the point at which the specification is already written.
How do I find new transport services tenders?
Notices are published across Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, each with its own search. Tender Radar reads all four each weekday morning and scores new notices against your profile, alongside the contracts in this category approaching renewal.

Figures cover contract award notices published from January 2021 onward, with comprehensive coverage from 2023.
