In brief
North East Lincolnshire Borough Council has announced plans to buy transport work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.
It is a framework worth up to £12,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.
The contract runs for 4 years, up to 94 months with extensions, starting 11 September 2026.
The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?
Competition
Usually high: a median of 11 bids per contract for transport contracts in this region (from 123 awards in the last 12 months).
Framework
Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £12,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
