The Authority (the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead) is procuring supported bus services under The Public Service Obligations in Transport Regulations 2023. These contracts are concessionary in nature but are not caught by the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016.

The Authority has up to £1.28 million (per annum) to supplement the services. We anticipate an effective date (i.e. contract signature and mobilisation to commence) of early January 2025 with services commencement from April 2025. The contract term is as follows: 5+3+2.
Bidders will be required to submit, and pass, a selection questionnaire.
