    Brief

    The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is inviting tenders for the renewal of three subsidised bus service contracts set to expire on 25 July 2026. These contracts are essential to maintain continuous operation of passenger transport routes across the West Midlands region and support access to key facilities and services. This is a re-procurement of existing services, and the published contract value represents the combined total value of all three contracts. Qualified transport operators are encouraged to bid for one or more of the available contracts to continue delivering reliable bus services to the region.
