Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council, operating as a public authority at sub-central government level, has completed the procurement process for the "Wichelstowe Car Share" project, engaging in a direct procurement method that did not involve competition, as it was below the threshold. The procurement targeted the services category, specifically transport services, with a focus on the Wichelstowe area located within the UKK14 region of the United Kingdom. The award stage concluded successfully, with the contract start date set for 1st May 2025, and an end date planned for 30th April 2028. The total contract value is £33,600 gross, with the agreement signed on 22nd April 2025.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses operating in the transport services sector, particularly those offering innovative car share solutions. Organisations similar to the Co-Wheels Car Club Community Interest Company, which is the awarded supplier, stand to benefit from involvement in such projects. Their SME status and expertise in community-focused transport services make them well-suited to capitalize on similar opportunities in public procurement that aim to enhance local transportation infrastructures, especially around residential and commercial developments. This case highlights potential avenues for SMEs to engage with public sector contracts beyond competitive tenders, especially those focused on sustainable urban mobility solutions.
