Swindon, Fleming Way Bus Boulevard

Fleming Way Bus Boulevard

Swindon Borough Council invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced service providers for the provision a new public transport interchange for Swindon town centre. The redevelopment of Fleming Way is part of the wider town centre regeneration works and aims to create one inclusive bus interchange that will accommodate all bus services in the town centre. This means that all buses which currently operate from two separate sites at Swindon Bus Station and Fleming Way, will all leave from a single site.

Key elements of the Project are as follows:
• Liaising and coordinating directly with various Statutory Utility Companies on behalf of the Council to deliver the programme of diversions.
• Low carbon, sustainable methods of construction and company credentials, in line with the ethos of this Project.
• Preparation for the installation of bespoke bus shelters.
• Installation of a new public toilet.
• Planting and initial maintenance period for the new trees and vegetation.
• Town centre location consideration i.e. management of pedestrian traffic around the closed site and works access.

Full details relating to the Works are provided in the draft tender documents.
