Tender description
The SMeviC is a Consortium of four Local Authorities, led by Nottinghamshire County Council with Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council and Nottingham City Council and Midlands Connect (Sub-National Transport Body), supported by East Midlands Combined Authority (EMCCA).

The exercise seeks provider views on: • Capacity and capability. • Commercial appetite. • Delivery challenges and risks. • Innovative approaches to the procurement.
