NSW outer metropolitan bus tender awarded to ComfortDelGro

The contract was worth A$200m ($180m)

Taxi firm, ComfortDelGro said its subsidiary, CDC NSW Pty Ltd, won the outer metropolitan bus contract in New South Wales.

In a bourse filing, the taxi operator said it also won three other successful tenders from NSW Government resulting in two contracts for Sydney Metropolitan Region 4, and combined Regions 12 and 14 just seven months earlier. The three contracts are totalled A$1.9b ($1.7b).

The latest bid is the Outer Metropolitan Bus Service Contract for Region 7, which covers the NSW Central Coast, including The Entrance, Gosford, Wyong, and the surrounding areas.

The contract, which will begin services in July 2024 and run for eight years, has been awarded by the NSW Government to Red Bus CDC NSW – a 50:50 joint venture (JV) company between CDC NSW and Red Bus Services.

Red Bus Services is a bus operator with over 80 years of experience serving the Central Coast community. It has collaborated with CDC NSW for Region 7 tender to deliver better value based on its combined strengths, expertise, and resources to serve the more than two million passengers expected yearly.

Aside from bus services, the contract will also create employment as CDC NSW expands its operations.

It expects to have a workforce of over 2,500 across NSW, which will be an increase of 150 employees from its current strength.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
