The\nprocurement process for the free transport service for students in\nTabanan is currently at the bidding stage within the Procurement of\nGoods and Services Department. Head of the Goods and Services\nProcurement Department of the Tabanan Regency Secretariat, I Dewa Putu\nMahendra, revealed that three participants have already entered the\nauction system. According to him, the auction winner will be announced\non 22 June. \u201cIt is still in the evaluation stage. The project value is\naround Rp 9.3 billion with a contract period until December 2026,\u201d said\nDewa Putu Mahendra when confirmed on Friday (5\/6\/2026). The Trans Siswa\nservice served 5,126 students from 22 junior secondary schools in\nTabanan in 2025. The transport service, which runs across 98 routes,\nrequired a budget of up to Rp 9.52 billion. According to Mahendra, the\ncontract signing will take place after the auction winner is determined.\nFollowing this process, the new Trans Siswa service will commence. Head\nof the Tabanan Transportation Agency, I Made Murdika, stated that the\nTabanan Regency administration has prepared the budget to support the\nprogramme\u2019s sustainability. However, he noted that operational services\nmust still wait for the procurement and tender process. While the\nadministrative and technical processes are underway, the previously free\nstudent transport is still operating under a paid scheme. Murdika said\nthis is based on an agreement between students and drivers on the\nground. \u201cThe budget has been prepared, but it is still in process. What\nis certain is that Trans Siswa will continue this year,\u201d Murdika\nstressed. In addition to continuing existing services, the Tabanan\nTransportation Agency is also making adjustments and adding routes this\nyear. The additions follow service proposals from SMPN 2 Selemadeg, SMPN\n3 Selemadeg Timur, and SMPN 3 Marga.<\/p>",
