City & County of Swansea awards Bus Services Contract

The City & County of Swansea has concluded a contract award for local bus services, known as Contracts for Local Bus Services (PT 22-24). The awarded contract, reference number CCS/21/362, was granted to DANSA LTD, a contractor based in Neath, UK. The value of the contract is nominally set at £0.01, indicating the nature of the service rather than the financial magnitude, and signifies an essential service in public transport, particularly for the Swansea and Gower areas.

This contract includes three local bus services requiring two small Passenger Service Vehicles (PSVs) equipped with tail-lifts, which will serve local communities effectively. The contract is part of an open procedure and was awarded based on the lowest price criterion, where quality and price were critical factors in scoring - quality was weighted at 20%, while price took precedence with an 80% weighting.

As part of the commitment to public transportation, the City & County of Swansea aims to improve local transport services through partnerships with private contractors like DANSA LTD. This award not only allows for enhanced mobility for residents but also exemplifies the local authority's dedication to providing sustainable and efficient public transport solutions.
