Coach Tenders and Contracts

See open Coach tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Coach procurement covers coach and minibus hire with a driver for university trips, sports fixtures and open days; home-to-school routes, including special educational needs transport; and rail replacement coaches during line closures. Wheelchair-accessible coach routes to day centres and scheduled express coach services are tendered too. Coaching in the sense of training or mentoring is a different service using the same word.

Coach work mostly runs through frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems, split into lots by route or vehicle size. Universities, councils, academy trusts, health trusts and rail operators are regular buyers.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about coach hire, coach and minibus, coach transport, school coach, coach and driver, coach operator, coach hire with driver, bus and coach hire in the UK public sector.

  • What CPV codes cover coach and coach hire contracts?

    The main codes are 60172000 (Hire of buses and coaches with driver), 60170000 (Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver) and 34121000 (Buses and coaches). Notices also carry a road transport or mixed passenger-vehicle code where the contract covers a broader fleet.

  • Who buys coach contracts in the UK public sector?

    Schools and local authorities buy coach contracts for home-to-school transport, universities buy them for student trips and open days, and NHS trusts and rail operators buy them for patient transport and rail replacement services. Most of this runs through framework agreements or dynamic purchasing systems that reopen for new suppliers on a rolling basis.

  • Are coach contracts usually awarded through frameworks?

    Yes. A large share of coach hire notices establish or call off a framework or DPS rather than a one-off contract, which is why the same buyer often reissues a coach hire notice every year or two as the framework refreshes. Ad-hoc or termly call-offs are common alongside multi-year agreements.

  • How do I find Coach contracts before they are formally tendered?

    Read fleet replacement plans, vehicle framework renewals, depot reviews and lease expiry dates, which show Coach work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the fleet teams behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
