The service is required for a period of nine (9) months

Questions for a bid or market team

• Which published requirements and lots led to ARRIVA DURHAM COUNTY LIMITED being named?
• What evidence would a supplier need for comparable transport and logistics procurement?
• Do later notices change the term, value, scope or status of these awards?

Answer these questions from the complete procurement pack and later notices. Store the source URL, publication date and exact field behind every conclusion. A supplier name in an award does not prove present capacity, customer satisfaction, future demand or revenue attributable to that supplier.

How to interpret this record

The timeline is evidence of published procurement history, not a lead score. Values can describe a lot, ceiling, estimate or whole contract and must not automatically be treated as annual supplier revenue. Framework appointment does not guarantee call-off work.

Check the original tender, lot structure, duration, modifications and termination notices. Compare several awards before calling a pattern repeatable, and label every inference separately from source facts.
