# Supply of a used electric single-deck bus

Völklinger Verkehrsbetriebe GmbH is procuring one used, battery-electric, low-floor single-deck bus for public scheduled service in Germany. The bus must have two passenger doors, be ready for operation and roadworthy at handover, and be suitable for registration and its intended use. The offered individual vehicle must be identified; a generic substitute vehicle is not permitted. It may be no more than four years old and have no more than 90,000 km of total mileage. The TED estimated-total field reads EUR 1, with no explanation of its significance. The notice says price is not the only award criterion and refers all criteria to separate procurement documents, which were not opened. The official deadline is 16 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC+01:00, differing from the exact canonical time, which remains unchanged.
