About

Department of Transport and Main Roads is seeking a supplier for 630 Euro VI (or greater) diesel buses to support public transport services across South East Queensland and meet future service delivery requirements. The investment will deliver new buses across Queensland to replace ageing vehicles, boost reliability, improve accessibility and ensure the network keeps pace with a fast‑growing state; the Better Bus Build aims to maintain service continuity, create a pipeline of work for industry and strengthen Queensland’s transport capability. Reference number VP525316; tender closes 12 Oct 2026 at 12:00 PM (UTC+10:00) Brisbane time; specification documents: 19; tender categories: Transport, Freight, Logistics, Vehicles; contact person: Not disclosed.

This tender is likely of interest to bus manufacturers and vehicle suppliers able to deliver large-volume Euro VI (or greater) diesel fleets and meet accessibility and reliability expectations. Key considerations include the scale and delivery timing for 630 buses, compliance with Euro VI (or greater) specifications, and that the procurement supports a transition to State ownership of the bus assets.
