Local Bus Services
The Council is tendering a contract for Local Bus Services, for 21 bus services and bus links to improve access for local communities across the borough. These services are intended to connect residents to key local services where the existing local bus network does not fully meet local transport needs.
The services are organised into Lots based on either:
• the area in which the services operate; or
• the type of service being provided.
The tendered services represent approximately half of the registered local bus services in the borough. Many are a retender of existing supported services. However, some Lots include service enhancements, new services or amendments to existing services.
The tender includes a range of service types, including:
• local link town services connecting residential areas with local amenities;
• enhancements to otherwise commercial services;
• a small number of local shopper services serving more rural areas; and
• selected school services.
E TENDERING SYSTEM - PRELIMINARY MARKET ENGAGEMENT
Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) is undertaking a pre-market engagement exercise regarding a replacement e-tendering system. This exercise is intended to provide capable suppliers with early visibility of the Council’s requirements and to gather information on the types of solutions available, their capabilities, limitations, innovation, implementation approach, timescales, integration options and commercial models. This will assist and inform the Council’s understanding of market capability and any future scope, requirements, specification and procurement approach.
A Market Engagement Questionnaire will be provided to suppliers who express an interest and are willing to provide responses to help guide this exercise and inform the Council’s consideration of potential replacement e-tendering system options.
The solution is expected to provide an end-to-end e-tendering system to support procurement activity, supplier engagement, tender publication, evaluation, award, transparency requirements, contract register functionality and contract management activity.
Peacock Lane Junction improvements (new roundabout)
A Contractor is required to facilitate the delivery of a junction upgrade. Specifically, the intersection between Waterloo Road, Old Wokingham Road, and Peacock Lane within Bracknell Forest Council boundary. This is to be converted into a roundabout and is therefore predominantly civils works. Please refer to the tender pack for more information.
Wokingham Borough Council are inviting tenders for the following works:
Construction of bus priority measures on A4 London Road and Sutton Seeds Roundabout, Wokingham.
The closure of the previous community-based service at the Lady Elizabeth Day Centre, Polehampton Close, Twyford, RG10 9RP, has created an opportunity to develop a new, sustainable and modern community hub for Twyford and the surrounding area.
The Council wants to ensure that local residents, particularly older people aged 65 and over, continue to have access to valued community-based support. The new hub should provide opportunities for social connection, wellbeing, activities and community engagement, while also supporting prevention, independence and early help.
We are seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and committed organisations or groups who may be interested in delivering this future community hub. This may include charities, voluntary and community sector organisations, community groups, or other partners with the skills, experience and capacity to support local residents.
