This tender aims to replace the existing fleet of small buses, with the contract covering the supply of vehicles and the provision of spare parts. Classified under the CPV codes for motor vehicles, the procurement employed an open procedure, with the award announced on 21st November 2025. The procurement stage is complete, following an open tendering process. The contract period extends from 30th November 2025 to 29th November 2026, and all activities are set in Gibraltar.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the automotive supply space, particularly those specialising in minibuses and large passenger vehicles. With the process open to economic operators from Gibraltar, the UK, or regions with trade agreements covering procurement provisions in Gibraltar, there was a strategic scope for bidders. Businesses keen on expanding their footprint in Gibraltar stand to gain from such projects, especially those capable of providing high-quality vehicles and associated spare parts. The inclusion of suitability criteria for SMEs indicates a supportive environment for small to medium-sized enterprises in this domain.
