Coach Tenders

Search coach hire, coach and minibus, and coach transport notices across the portals that publish them, or use Stotles to see all of it in one place, aggregated from 100+ portals. You can filter by buyer, stage and value, and read the buyer's own procurement documents before a tender opens.

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 60100000 (Road transport services) and 34120000 (Motor vehicles for the transport of 10 or more persons) where the contract covers a mixed vehicle fleet.

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

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.
