Report: Award of Contract for ULEZ complaint buses for PTS to transport clients on behalf of Children and Adult Services

Presented by: Councillor Barry Mugglestone, Cabinet Member for Environment

Summary:

A report considered the procurement of 13 replacement buses for the Passenger Transport Service (PTS), primarily for Home to School transport for SEN children, but also other transport work conducted on behalf of Children and Adults Services. These vehicles represented some of the remaining fleet assets that were not currently Euro 6 standard and therefore required replacement before the grace period for the TFL Community Bus Certificate expired in October 2025. After this date the buses would be subject to a £100 charge per vehicle per day to operate within the ULEZ.

These vehicles were also at least 3 years beyond their typical operating life and if not replaced were likely to present increased maintenance and reliability risks to PTS operations.

Cabinet agreed the award of contract to:

·     Treka Bus Limited (Company No. 15320085) for the purchase of thirteen 16 Seater Coach Built Buses.

As set out within the exempt appendix A to the report, for the provision of replacement vehicles.
