Competition

Usually high: a median of 15.5 bids per contract for transport contracts in this region (from 14 awards in the last 12 months).

What the notice says

De Montfort University has an ongoing requirement for airport shuttle services, to and from all major UK airports. Currently, approximately 300 trips per year are undertaken to major UK airports. This is based on our current demand and is only indicative. Our existing process is based on email and web-based ordering but given developments in technology since the last contract award, we are keen to explore web and app-based solutions that could improve ease of use and efficiency.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
