I was checking out the other forum when I saw that they have a thread on bus tenders (http://forums.sgtrains.com/showthread.php?tid=3094).
I realised SGforums does not have a thread about bus tenders. So, I am creating this thread.
Basically, this is like the press release thread, except this thread is about bus tenders.
A bus tender is one called by LTA, SBS, SMRT, TT, GA, or any organisation related to bus services. It is to deal with matters related to bus, bus interchange/depot, etcetera.
For example, there can be a tender about retirement of buses, a tender to change equipment in the bus interchange, etcetera. As long as it is about buses, whether bus or infrastructure, post it here.
Tender information can be found at the respective websites of LTA, SBS, SMRT, TT, GA, etcetera.

Sengkang Bus Interchange is having Addition and Alteration works!
Hopefully, this means an upgrade of the air-conditioning, change of lighting, etcetera. Because right now, the lighting is quite dim, and the place can be quite humid.
It seems that there are plans for more bus interchanges.
This is good news. Almost all our bus interchanges are already reaching full capacity, yet there are at least twenty-five more bus services (before there are eighty new BSEP bus services) going to be launched. It is good to know that there are plans to increase the capacity by creating more bus interchanges so that there is sufficient amount of space to accommodate all bus services.

This should be simply assessing the physical condition of existing bus interchanges, checking for defects etc. Tender period only 2 weeks...
According to http://smrt.com.sg/, SMRT is selling two bus models:
Mercedes Benz Bendy 0405G was originated from Germany/Spain, whereas DAF SB220LT was originated from Spain. Both are 17 years old.
