Summary of the contracting process

Somerset County Council has initiated a procurement process for the purchase of up to 18 single deck coaches or buses, along with a seven-year maintenance provision. This project, with a total value of £1,000,000, is classified under the category of motor vehicles for the transport of ten or more persons. The tender was published on 18 April 2019 and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and interested suppliers were required to submit their bids by 19 May 2019. The contract period is set to commence on 16 August 2019 and will extend until 15 August 2026.

This opportunity represents significant potential for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in the supply and maintenance of public transport vehicles. Businesses in the transportation sector, especially those experienced in bid preparation for public sector contracts, would be well-suited to compete. As the vehicles will primarily be used for Home to School Transport within Somerset, companies with expertise in this area may find themselves particularly advantageous in gaining the contract.
