Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has completed the contract award process for the provision of bus service 128, connecting Hawick to Newcastleton. This contract falls under the public road transport services industry category and is classified as a services procurement. The procurement method employed was limited, with no prior publication of a call for competition, due to technical reasons. The contract, signed on 5th August 2024, was awarded to Telford's Coaches Ltd, a local SME based in Newcastleton. The primary service area for this contract is in the Scottish Borders region, identified as UKM91.

This tender offers significant opportunities for established local transportation businesses looking to expand their service portfolio in public transport. Given that the procurement was tied to an existing school service contract and carried out without open competition, businesses with similar strategic advantages or existing contracts in the region might find similar future opportunities. Key factors for successful competition in similar tenders would include a strong local presence and the capability to integrate additional services efficiently, covering both quality and cost-effectiveness criteria.
