Description

Tees Valley Combined Authority (the 'Contacting Authority'), part of the Tees Valley Combined Authority Group are seeking to award a contract for the printing of local bus service information, primarily at stop timetables.

Scope

Reference
TVCA-PROC-0767
Commercial tool
Standalone contract
Contract dates
19 Apr 2026 to 19 Apr 2027
Possible extension to 19 Apr 2029

There are two options to extend for 1 year each. A contract extension or variation may also be required where there is a significant and unforeseen change in the volume of timetable printing required. This could occur if external factors - such as widespread service changes introduced by operators, region‑wide network revisions instructed by the relevant transport authority, emergency timetable updates, or other circumstances outside of TVCA’s control - result in a substantially higher number of printed timetables needing to be produced within short timescales. Such events may materially alter the scope and volume of printing work beyond what could reasonably have been anticipated at the point of contract award. In these circumstances, extending or varying the contract may be necessary to ensure continuity of service, maintain statutory and public information obligations, and enable the additional print volumes to be delivered without disruption.
